Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsText Analytics Features Noun Phrase Extraction
– Catalogs with variants, rule based dynamic– Multiple types, custom classes – entities, concepts, events– Feeds facets
Summarization– Customizable rules, map to different content
Fact Extraction– Relationships of entities – people-organizations-activities– Ontologies – triples, RDF, etc.
Sentiment Analysis– Rules – Objects and phrases – positive and negative
5
Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsText Analytics Features Auto-categorization
– Training sets – Bayesian, Vector space– Terms – literal strings, stemming, dictionary of related terms– Rules – simple – position in text (Title, body, url)– Semantic Network – Predefined relationships, sets of rules– Boolean– Full search syntax – AND, OR, NOT– Advanced – DIST (#), PARAGRAPH, SENTENCE
This is the most difficult to develop Build on a Taxonomy Combine with Extraction
– If any of list of entities and other words

Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsCase Study – Taxonomy Development
Problem – 200,000 new uncategorized documents Old taxonomy –need one that reflects change in corpus Text mining, entity extraction, categorization Content – 250,000 large documents, search logs, etc. Bottom Up- terms in documents – frequency, date, Clustering – suggested categories Clustering – chunking for editors Entity Extraction – people, organizations, Programming languages Time savings – only feasible way to scan documents Quality – important terms, co-occurring terms

Text Analytics Development
21
New Directions in Social MediaText Analytics, Text Mining, and Predictive Analytics Two Systems of the Brain
– Fast, System 1, Immediate patterns (TM)– Slow, System 2, Conceptual, reasoning (TA)
Text Analytics – pre-processing for TM– Discover additional structure in unstructured text– Behavior Prediction – adding depth in individual documents – New variables for Predictive Analytics, Social Media Analytics– New dimensions – 90% of information
Text Mining for TA– Semi-automated taxonomy development – Bottom Up- terms in documents – frequency, date, clustering– Improve speed and quality – semi-automatic
22
Text Analytics and TaxonomyComplimentary Information Platform Taxonomy provides a consistent and common vocabulary
– Enterprise resource – integrated not centralized Text Analytics provides a consistent tagging
– Human indexing is subject to inter and intra individual variation Taxonomy provides the basic structure for categorization
– And candidates terms Text Analytics provides the power to apply the taxonomy
– And metadata of all kinds Text Analytics and Taxonomy Together – Platform
– Consistent in every dimension– Powerful and economic
23
Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsMetadata – Tagging – the Problem How do you bridge the gap – taxonomy to documents? Tagging documents with taxonomy nodes is tough
– And expensive – central or distributed Library staff –experts in categorization not subject matter
– Too limited, narrow bottleneck– Often don’t understand business processes and business uses
Authors – Experts in the subject matter, terrible at categorization– Intra and Inter inconsistency, “intertwingleness”– Choosing tags from taxonomy – complex task– Folksonomy – almost as complex, wildly inconsistent– Resistance – not their job, cognitively difficult = non-compliance
Text Analytics is the answer(s)!
24
Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsMetadata Tagging – the Solution Mind the Gap – Manual, Automatic, Hybrid All require human effort – issue of where and how effective Manual - human effort is tagging (difficult, inconsistent) Automatic and Hybrid - human effort is prior to tagging
– Build on expertise – librarians on categorization, SME’s on subject terms
Hybrid Model– Publish Document -> Text Analytics analysis -> suggestions for
categorization, entities, metadata - > present to author– Cognitive task is simple -> react to a suggestion instead of select
from head or a complex taxonomy– Feedback – if author overrides -> suggestion for new category– Facets – Requires a lot of Metadata - Entity Extraction feeds facets
Hybrid – Automatic is really a spectrum – depends on context
25
Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsApplications: Search Multiple Knowledge Structures
– Facet – orthogonal dimension of metadata– Taxonomy - Subject matter / aboutness– Ontology – Relationships / Facts
• Subject – Verb - Object Software - Search, ECM, auto-categorization, entity
extraction, Text Analytics and Text Mining People – tagging, evaluating tags, fine tune rules and
taxonomy People – Users, social tagging, suggestions Rich Search Results – context and conversation

Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsApplications: Search-Based Applications Platform for Information Applications
– Content Aggregation– Duplicate Documents – save millions!– Text Mining – BI, CI – sentiment analysis– Combine with Data Mining – disease symptoms, new
• Predictive Analytics – Social – Hybrid folksonomy / taxonomy / auto-metadata– Social – expertise, categorize tweets and blogs, reputation– Ontology – travel assistant – SIRI
Use your Imagination!
29
Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsApplications: Expertise Analysis Sentiment Analysis to Expertise Analysis(KnowHow)
– Know How, skills, “tacit” knowledge Experts write and think differently Basic level is lower, more specific
– Levels: Superordinate – Basic – Subordinate• Mammal – Dog – Golden Retriever
– Furniture – chair – kitchen chair Experts organize information around processes, not
subjects Build expertise categorization rules
30
Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text AnalyticsExpertise – application areas Taxonomy / Ontology development /design – audience focus
– Card sorting – non-experts use superficial similarities Business & Customer intelligence – add expertise to sentiment
– Deeper research into communities, customers Text Mining - Expertise characterization of writer, corpus eCommerce – Organization/Presentation of information – expert, novice Expertise location- Generate automatic expertise characterization based
on documents Experiments - Pronoun Analysis – personality types
– Essay Evaluation Software - Apply to expertise characterization• Model levels of chunking, procedure words over content
31
Beyond Sentiment: Behavior PredictionCase Study – Telecom Customer Service Problem – distinguish customers likely to cancel from mere threats Analyze customer support notes General issues – creative spelling, second hand reports Develop categorization rules
– First – distinguish cancellation calls – not simple– Second - distinguish cancel what – one line or all– Third – distinguish real threats
32
Beyond SentimentBehavior Prediction – Case Study
Basic Rule– (START_20, (AND, – (DIST_7,"[cancel]", "[cancel-what-cust]"),– (NOT,(DIST_10, "[cancel]", (OR, "[one-line]", "[restore]", “[if]”)))))
Examples:– customer called to say he will cancell his account if the does not stop receiving
a call from the ad agency. – cci and is upset that he has the asl charge and wants it off or her is going to
cancel his act– ask about the contract expiration date as she wanted to cxl teh acct
Combine sophisticated rules with sentiment statistical training and Predictive Analytics
33
Beyond Sentiment - Wisdom of CrowdsCrowd Sourcing Technical Support Example – Android User Forum Develop a taxonomy of products, features, problem areas Develop Categorization Rules:
– “I use the SDK method and it isn't to bad a all. I'll get some pics up later, I am still trying to get the time to update from fresh 1.0 to 1.1.”
– Find product & feature – forum structure– Find problem areas in response, nearby text for solution
Automatic – simply expose lists of “solutions”– Search Based application
Human mediated – experts scan and clean up solutions
34
Taxonomy, Text Mining, and Text Analytics Conclusions Text Analytics is an essential platform for multiple applications Text Analytics and Text Mining and Taxonomy are mutually
enriching approaches Sentiment Analysis, Beyond Positive & Negative
New emotion taxonomies, context around terms New applications – Expertise, behavior prediction, etc.
Future – new kinds of applications:– Enterprise Search – Hybrid ECM model with text analytics– Expertise Analysis, Behavior Prediction, and more– Social Media and Big Data built from TM & TA– NeuroAnalytics – cognitive science meets taxonomy and
more• Watson is just the start
