Case study on the voice of the patient for the Pharma industry

Pharmaceutical companies are extending their Voice of the Patient projects to include social media: comments on web forums, surveys, Twitter, and more.

The goal of the proof of concept ordered by one particular pharmaceutical company in Spain was to: ” Collect and analyze the voice of the patient, both quantitatively and qualitatively, from the channels where it is expressed”, including social networks like web forums, Facebook, Twitter, and other systems.

For the pharma industry, it is essential to listen and understand the feedback that their current and potential customers communicate through various means and touchpoints.

Web forums, for instance, gather millions of posts, and function as a meeting point for patients where support, experiences, and wisdom are shared with peers, family members, and friends.

Text analytics explained: MeaningCloud in Italian

In previous posts we spoke about text analysis performed in French and Portuguese. Today we’re wrapping up this linguistics series by discussing the analyses that can be done with Italian texts.

Italian is spoken in several European countries such as Italy, San Marino and Switzerland, totaling almost 70 million speakers. As Italians have migrated all over the world, its language is also present on the other side of the pond. In South America, for instance, it is the second most spoken language in Argentina. In the US, even though it is not an officially spoken language, many of its citizens are of Italian descendent and thus speak the language at home. We wanted to include such a widely spread language in our Standard Languages Pack.

Hello in many languages

Similarly to our previous posts, we are going to explain, in a linguistically-inclined way, what Text Analytics is and which functionalities MeaningCloud provides in Italian.

Text analytics explained: MeaningCloud in Portuguese

A few weeks ago we talked about MeaningCloud’s text analytics performance on French texts. Now it’s Portuguese time!

Portuguese, together with Spanish, has an enormous presence in South America. It is spoken by more than 200 million people in Brazil alone. Not only does it have an immense influence on the economy in South America but throughout Europe too, where it is used by more than 10 million speakers. Africa also has Portuguese-speakers. Angola, which has a population of more than 24 million people, recognizes Portuguese as their official language. Its presence in these three continents makes it hard to miss in our Standard Languages Pack. At MeaningCloud, we offer two Portuguese varieties: Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese.

Whether the concept “Text Analytics” sounds rather hazy or you are looking for something more specifically language-related, this post is for you. We keep in mind the language diversity and we want to show you all the functionalities we provide in Portuguese.

Text analytics explained: MeaningCloud in French

Due to the rise of Natural Language Processing technologies, Text Analytics is on everyone’s lips. However, most services in this field are provided in English and, depending on the language you are interested in, it can become difficult to find the functionality you are looking for.

No worries. French, for instance, is a language not only used in all the five continents and with almost 300 million of speakers, but is also either the first or the second language of communication in many international organizations [1]. No wonder why we have it as a part of our Standard Languages Pack!

The Text Proofreading API moves to Stilus

Even since the very beginnings of MeaningCloud, we have offered a Text Proofreading API in Spanish which allow you to standardize and ensure the quality of your contents through spelling, grammar and style proofreading.

On the 2nd of April, we will definitely move this API and its functionality to Stilus, an application where we take advantage of the functionality provided by the API and show everything you can do with it.

To those of you who currently use it, the migration process can be done in three easy steps:

  1. Register at Stilus.
  2. Contact us at support telling us about your volume requirements and which Stilus user would use the API. We will inform you of the conditions and tell you how to subscribe to the API.
  3. Once you have subscribed, you will only have to change the API endpoint and the key parameter value in your integration, and you will be all set to keep using the Text Proofreading API.

If you’d rather use directly the text proofreading functionality online or from Word, check out all the ways in which you can use Stilus!

Applying text analytics to financial compliance

In one of our previous posts we talked about Financial Compliance, FinTech and its relation to Text Analytics. We also showed the need for normalized facts for mining text in search of suspects of financial crimes and proposed the form SVO (subject, verb, object) to do so.

Financial crime

Thus, we had defined clause as the string within the sentence capable to convey an autonomous fact. Finally, we had explained how to integrate with the Lemmatization, PoS and Parsing API in order to get a fully syntactic and semantic enriched JSON-formatted tree for input text, from which we will work extracting SVO clauses.

In this post, we are going to continue with the extraction process, seeing in detail how to work to extract those clauses from the response returned by the Parsing API.

MeaningCloud Release: new Deep Categorization API

This is what we’ve included in MeaningCloud’s latest release:

  • New Deep Categorization API: we are happy to present the first of our Premium APIs, Deep Categorization 1.0, which lets you carry out an in-depth categorization of your data. In this initial release, we’ve included predefined models for analyzing the Voice of the Customer in several domains and the Voice of the Employee.
  • Language Identification 1.1: we say goodbye to Language Identification 1.0, so if you are still using it, you will need to migrate to the newest version. If you are using it through the Excel add-in, we’ve done it for you, so you just have to update your Excel add-in to the latest version.
  • New language for Text Clustering: we’ve added Catalan to the languages supported in the Text Clustering API.
