MeaningCloud, formerly known as Textalytics is a Software as a Service product that enables users to embed text analytics and semantic processing in any application or system -in an effective and inexpensive way.

MeaningCloud extends the concept of semantic API with a cloud-based framework that makes the integration of semantic processing into any system something close to a plug-and-play experience.[1] MeaningCloud is available both in SaaS mode and on-premises.

In this way, developers and integrators can build solutions (e.g., media monitoring, voice of the customer analysis, content publishing) that leverage text analytics technologies applying a low risk, fast time-to-market approach, and using an inexpensive pay-per-use model.[2]

Functionality

MeaningCloud provides a broad set of horizontal, granular text mining APIs:

  • Topic Extraction: identifies appearances of named entities and abstract concepts in the text.
  • Text Classification: assigns a text to one or several categories in a predefined taxonomy. MeaningCloud includes several standard classification taxonomies out of the box.
  • Sentiment Analysis: assigns a polarity (positive, negative, neutral) to a document or to the individual topics or attributes appearing in a document (aspect-based sentiment).
  • Text Clustering: discovers the underlying themes in a document collection and groups these documents according to their similarities and their adherence to those themes.

MeaningCloud also offers advanced APIs that are optimized for different industries and application scenarios.[3] These APIs include dictionaries, taxonomies, process pipelines and functionalities specific to these applications, which build a layer of high added value on top of a standard, basic semantic functionality.[4] These APIs include:

  • User Profiling: uses the content that a user publishes to infer his demographic and psychographic attributes: age, sex, location, familiar status, professional situation, interests, brand affinities, etc.
  • Corporate Reputation: applies some reputational dimensions and variables (e.g., financial situation, innovativeness, social responsibility) to assess the impact that all kind of content have on these variables for a specific company.

Most of these APIs are available in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Catalan, Portuguese.

MeaningCloud’s semantic API functionality use the same language that describes business needs.[5]

Integration and customization

Advanced APIs provide a functionality optimized for diverse applications and ease of use. In addition, customization and integration capabilities offer a fast learning curve and a short time to obtain results.

  • Customized resource management tools allow users to easily incorporate their own semantic resources (dictionaries, taxonomies, sentiment models) to adapt the operation of the system to their needs.
  • SDKs and plug-ins increase the convenience and integrability of the APIs in the most common environments and platforms.[6] Textalytics provides SDKs for Java, Python, PHP, and Visual Basic, and plug-ins for Microsoft Excel and GATE.[7]

The results are a higher productivity and a shorter time-to-market for customers.
