Lexalytics: The RPA Market

December 12, 2019

RPA is an acronym which was new to the DarkCyber team. A bit of investigation pointed us to “Adding New NLP Capabilities for RPA: Build or Buy” plus other stories published by Lexalytics. This firm provides a sentiment analysis system. The idea is that smart software can figure out what the emotion of content objects is. Some sentiment analysis systems just use word lists. An email arrives with the word, “sue,” the smart software flags the email and, in theory, a human looks at the message. Other systems use a range of numerical recipes to figure out if a message contains an emotional payload.

Now RPA.

The idea is that robotic process automation is becoming more important. The vendors of RPA have to be aware that natural language processing related to text analytics is also increasing in importance. You can read about RPA on the Lexalytics blog at this link.

The jargon caught our attention. After a bit of discussion over lunch on December 5, 2019, we decided that RPA is a new term for workflows that are scripted and hopefully intelligent.

Now you know. RPA, workflow, not IPA.
