I'm going to write a few blog articles to show how machine learning and natural language processing techniques are used in partnership inside of Lexalytics software.

In honor of the Sentiment Analysis Symposium this week in San Francisco (you are going to be there, right?), here's a summary of best practices for tuning sentiment.   These will work for any sentiment analysis system, but you should use ours.

Because it's the best, 'natch.

1) 2 datasets:  Gather a set of documents and split it in half.

In about 6 minutes, I'll show you how easy it is to configure a concept topic that classifies documents by two different classifiers:

1) Is a country mentioned that is in the Middle East?
2) Are there weapons mentioned?

I got kinda dissed in the comments for being too vague in my last blog post, with a demand for a video/demo.

We have heard and are responding!

We're working on more, but check out this quick demo of concept topics.

Check this out full-screen so you can see what I'm typing.

Yes, yes, we've been very quiet.  That's because we've been working on really cool stuff, and now it's released to the marketplace.

Salience Five is our most important release since our last release!  :)

Seriously, though, we've introduced some groundbreaking new features to help you understand what's being said in all that text.

Our buddies over at MediaVantage http://www.mediavantage.com have just announced some significant improvements to their already really good service. Included with improvements to their content stream for social media (including both more stuff and better filtering) and an improved search interface; they've launched some stuff that's near and dear to my heart - automated tonality scoring.

I came across the following article today, our last day before the Christmas holiday break. If ever an article deserved a blog post, it's this one.
