Linguamatics I2E Used To Analyze Election Tweets
May 6, 2010
Linguamatics, the UK-based company specializing in natural language processing (NLP) deployed their I2E software during the final televised UK election debate to analyze tweets being sent both during and after the debate. “Linguamatics Reveals Instant Reactions on Twitter to Third Televised Election Debate” describes in detail the analytics that I2E captured, such as tweets in favor of a certain candidate, top issues for the twitterers, and “positive sentiments” towards each candidate – this last remark reflection the narrowing gap between their performances. The text mining software analyzed over 180,000 tweets in a 1.5 hour span on the night of the debate and can identify the meaning of a tweet even if strangely worded. While Linguamatics’ software can be used to extract the meaning from tweets, its clients include many top-10 pharma companies that use its much heavier data analysis methods.
