Case Synopsis

Introduction
According to a recent study by the McKinsey Global Institute, 80% of the worlds data today exists in the unstructured form. Unstructured data is created when customers articulate their experiences in their own words. These expressions are invaluable in understanding the true customer sentiments and understand their current state of mind. However, in the past, deriving meaning from such verbatim feedbacks has been possible only on a quantitative scale. Until recently, even quantitative techniques have been limited to crude coding of comments into pre-defined silos, which usually results in the data losing majority of its value in the process. With the emergence of advanced text analytics, software and techniques, we are presented with new possibilities to quantitatively analyze unstructured data. Unstructured data in digital world is growing at an unprecedented rate due to widespread use of social media, emails, blogs etc .

Text Analytics helps to define a broader role in solving common and essential business problems. Text Analytics Solutions complement existing data mining techniques to help make data richer, and insights more accurate. The technique is built on content management and text search, rather than databases and queries. It works with documents, the most common form of unstructured data, rather than fielded, numeric data. Text Analytics starts with source-document acquisition. Lexical and linguistic analyses help structure content for feature extraction; and statistical data mining that can classify information and detect clusters, linkages, associative and predictive rules, and other forms of relationships. Visualization interfaces, especially network diagrams that display entity and concept inter-relationships, as well as browsers and navigators that link extracted information back to source texts, deliver results for interactive exploration.

Our Solution
Text mining process to address the challenge: A comprehensive analytics solution was built by deploying a range of techniques starting from data collection to advanced analytics on the text data to address the clients requirements. A complete analytical workflow was discussed to understand nuances of business expectation, privacy and data efficacy. Data collection and quality check: A propriety tool was deployed to assess consumer comments from brands own social media pages, other industry forums frequented by consumers, and websites pertaining to competitors products. The information was collated and checked for any missing or incomplete parts. Connectors were deployed, tested, and fine-tuned to automate the data captured. Data integration and clean-up: In this phase, the information collected from various structured and unstructured sources was integrated. The data integration process concluded with bringing in disparate variables together to create a tabulated data. Further clean-up was executed on this data to remove blank data or other irrelevant discussion topics, along with the elimination of duplicate and incomplete records. Text mining: Text mining, a procedure of synthesizing information, played a vital role as it helped in analysing relations, patterns, and rules among textual data. This included text summarization, text categorization, and text clustering. Text summarization was used to extract partial content reflection. Text categorization on the other hand, assigned a category to the text amongst the predefined categories. Text clustering segmented texts into several clusters, depending on their substantial relevance.
