NEW: Entity Sentiment Analysis available on Eden AI

Quickly extract and analyze the sentiment associated with specific entities in your text data with just a few simple steps!

‍

What is Entity Sentiment Analysis API?

Entity Sentiment Analysis (or Targeted Sentiment Analysis) is an advanced form of Traditional Sentiment Analysis that goes beyond analyzing the overall sentiment of a piece of text. Instead, it focuses on identifying and analyzing the sentiment associated with specific entities mentioned in the text, such as people, products, organizations, or topics.

Entity Sentiment Analysis uses both NLP and Sentiment Analysis to identify the sentiment (positive or negative) conveyed about entities in the text, offering a more detailed and finely-tuned comprehension of the sentiments embedded within the text.

After detecting the entities referenced in a document and which portions of the document discuss each item, it reliably predicts the attitude conveyed about each unique entity in the text, even when the mood about each is different.

While Traditional Sentiment Analysis provides an overall sentiment score for a piece of text, Targeted Sentiment Analysis delves deeper by analyzing sentiment associated with specific entities within the text. Choosing between the two techniques depends on your project goals and the level of detail you require to make informed decisions or gain valuable insights from the text data.

Benefits of using an Entity Sentiment API

Using an Entity Sentiment API offers a range of benefits that enhance various aspects of text data processing and analysis. Some of the key advantages include:

‍‍

1. Entity-Level Insights: You can gain insights into how specific entities are perceived by your users. This is especially valuable when you want to assess the sentiment associated with particular products, services, or attributes mentioned in user reviews, comments, or feedback.
2. Personalization: Leveraging entity sentiment analysis, your app can personalize user experiences. For example, if a user expresses positive sentiment toward a certain product, your app can recommend similar products or tailor content to their preferences.
3. Enhanced Customer Support: By analyzing the sentiment of user queries or support requests, your app can prioritize and route them accordingly. Users with negative sentiment can receive faster or more specialized support, improving their satisfaction.
4. Save time and resources: Entity Sentiment APIs can quickly analyze large volumes of text and provide sentiment scores for individual entities (such as people, places, or products) within the text. This can save significant time and resources compared to manual sentiment analysis.
5. Accuracy: These APIs are typically trained on vast datasets and use advanced machine learning algorithms to determine sentiment. As a result, they can provide accurate sentiment scores, reducing the likelihood of human bias or error.
6. Competitive Analysis: Compare sentiment associated with your entities to that of competitors. This competitive analysis can inform your strategies, helping you understand how you stack up in terms of user perception.
7. Real-time analysis: Use Entity Sentiment API to monitor customer feedback in real-time on social media platforms, allowing businesses to respond quickly to customer concerns and enhance customer satisfaction.

Best Practices for Entity Sentiment on Eden AI

When implementing Entity Sentiment on Eden AI or any other platform, it's essential to follow certain best practices to ensure optimal performance, accuracy, and security. Here are some general best practices for Entity Sentiment on Eden AI:

‍

1. Contextual Analysis: Consider the context in which entities appear. Sentiment can vary based on the surrounding text, so it's essential to analyze entities in their context. For example, "Apple" can refer to both the company and the fruit, each with different sentiments.
2. Multilingual Support: If your application involves multiple languages, ensure that the API supports multilingual sentiment analysis. Different languages may have unique sentiment expressions and nuances.
3. Handle Ambiguity: Be aware that entity sentiment analysis can be challenging when entities have ambiguous sentiments. For instance, a review might mention a restaurant's excellent food but criticize its service. Consider how to handle such cases.
4. Sentiment Scale: Understand the sentiment scale used by the API. Some systems use a binary positive/negative sentiment scale, while others may use a multi-class scale, such as positive, negative, neutral, or a numerical scale. Ensure that the scale aligns with your application needs.
