The Power of Salesforce’s Marketing Cloud Social Insights Ecosystem, Bitext

Current industry solutions for sentiment analysis, which are based on keyword identification or machine learning, cannot address most of the subtleties of human language.

This is especially true in complex languages such as Spanish or Portuguese, and even more so when considering the Latin American varieties of these languages. Bitext Sentiment is developed from the ground up using processing techniques designed to deal with the complexity of natural language.

By representing the complexities of morphological variation and parsing in a powerful rule-based system, Bitext Sentiment can capture the nuances of meaning that make multilingual sentiment analysis a difficult task.

Bitext Sentiment extends the power of Marketing Cloud to provide companies with real-time insights into customer reactions to social media campaigns, enabling companies to act quickly and engage with their customers in the most effective way.

Key product features for the Marketing Cloud, Bitext

• Sentiment analysis leverages sophisticated rule-based lingüistic analysis to solve problems such as
  • Negation of positive terms.
  • Positive or negative words that do not refer to the brand in question.
  • Sentiment-bearing words that change their meaning when combined with other words.

• Entities (brands, companies, people, etc.) that have the strongest positive and negative sentiments are extracted in different Insights, so it is easy to compare brands, people or products and see to whom most of the positive or negative comments are directed.

• Entity extraction collects a single Insight of all the brands, companies and people in the entity that have been referenced positively or negatively, so it is easy to see which topics are most important in a series of online conversations.

• Bitext Sentiment will initially be available in Spanish and Portuguese. All varieties of Spanish (Latin American and European) and Portuguese (Brazilian and European) are included, opening up a market of over 600 million people.

• The dictionaries and grammars that are part of Bitext Sentiment are built specifically for each language and language variety. Sentiment analysis is tailored for each language, i.e. it is not built with a single technique that applies indiscriminately to all languages.
