Text Analytics Application Examples
The following are examples where text analytics can be applied and provide great benefits.
-
Improved navigation with topic-based facets
-
End-users can efficiently drill down to documents they are looking for using facets. You can use text analytics to extract themes and named entities and create facets based on this information to improve search results navigation.
-
Expertise finding
-
Finding experts on a subject or domain is a need found in many organizations. Text analytics can help identify experts based on dynamic analysis of how people in an organization are linked to content (authors, owners, mentioned in, linked to).
-
Improved efficiency of customer service agents
-
Customer service agents generally need to find answers and solutions to client's issues from a large number of structured and unstructured content sources. You can use text analytics to extract many relevant information types from case descriptions, knowledge base articles, wikis, issue tracking systems, emails, etc. When an agent opens a case, Smart Relations lists automatically present related content from various sources.
-
Customer review analysis
-
Knowing what clients think of products is key information to all successful businesses. You can use text analytics to extract company names, product names, themes and perform sentiment analysis on customer review sites or forums, and then create facets based on this metadata. Product management people can then easily analyze what customers like and dislike about their company's products and those of their competitors.
Example: In the following Knowledge Base console, the user searched for firmware and gets matching knowledge base articles in the middle of the screen. The user can then use the facets on the left to refine search results and review related information from other sources on the right. Text analytics is behind several insightful user interface elements of this console.
