How does the Sentiment Analysis work?

Updated over 11 months ago

Combining natural language processing, machine learning techniques, AI analysis and other advanced algorithms, BrandMentions can automatically determine whether a piece of writing is positive, negative or neutral.

BrandMentions automatically assigns a sentiment to each collected data. The sentiments can be positive, negative or neutral.

Here's an overview of how the sentiment analysis process works:

  1. Artificial Intelligence (AI): BrandMentions leverages AI-driven algorithms to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of sentiment analysis. AI helps the system recognize complex patterns in language, adapt to changing language trends, and improve over time.

  2. Natural Language Processing (NLP): AI-powered NLP processes each mention by breaking down sentences, identifying key words, and interpreting meaning. NLP allows the system to understand context and emotion, crucial for accurately determining sentiment.

  3. Keyword and Phrase Detection: The AI model identifies keywords, phrases, and emotional indicators (e.g., "excellent," "disappointing") commonly linked to positive or negative sentiments. It assesses these terms in relation to the overall text to avoid superficial interpretations.

  4. Contextual Analysis: Using AI, the system analyzes surrounding words and phrases to understand context and avoid misinterpretation. This is especially useful for detecting sarcasm, irony, and nuanced language, which are often challenging for traditional sentiment tools.

  5. Machine Learning: AI-based machine learning models continuously improve BrandMentions’ sentiment analysis. As the tool processes more data and user feedback, it learns to adapt to new slang, phrases, and trends, refining sentiment classification accuracy over time.

  6. Manual Adjustment: In cases where the AI's sentiment classification might not be fully accurate, users can manually adjust the sentiment of specific mentions. This feedback is incorporated into the AI model, helping it improve over time and increasing the overall accuracy of the tool.

The combination of AI, NLP, machine learning, and contextual analysis in BrandMentions’ sentiment analysis enables a comprehensive, adaptive, and accurate understanding of brand sentiment across various platforms and languages.
