How to Use Sentiment Analysis

 

In Qualaroo, sentiment analysis can quickly collect qualitative data from your text-based responses. Sentiment Analysis is powered by IBM Watson’s Natural Language Understanding to unlock critical user insights based on the following attributes:

 

Sentiment

 

It is a scaleable way to swiftly & accurately categorize and assign values to your qualitative data. Your text-based responses are classified into a score of 

  • 0.1 to 1: Positive

  • -0.1 to -1: Negative 

  • 0: Neutral

 

Emotion

 

Analyze your qualitative data through a quantitative rating of five emotions: anger, disgust, sadness, fear, and joy. Each grouping of freeform content is assigned a value from 0 (low expression) to 1 (high expression) for each emotion.

 

Relevant Keywords

 

Isolate relevant keywords your customers use to understand which areas of your product are exceeding, meeting, or failing to meet expectations.

 

NOTE: Sentiment Analysis is an add-on feature supported for responses in the English language only.

 

Benefits of Sentiment Analysis:

 

  • Focus on relevant responses using automated feedback mining.

  • Import all your responses to any visual analytics platform for an enhanced understanding of user sentiments to increase conversions.

 Where to use Sentiment Analysis?

 

There are endless ways you can use Sentiment Analysis to learn and act upon your data. Here are a few use cases to spark your creativity.

 

Sentiment Use Cases

 

  •  Prompt your customers to provide open-text feedback on a product or service you offer or their experience with your organization. Use Qualaroo’s IBM Watson integration to efficiently categorize this qualitative data into positive or negative sentiment to assist your outreach initiatives. Organize your communication based on sentiment, and prioritize your efforts by focusing first on your respondents who provided negative sentiment.

  • Analyze the feedback corresponding to NPS ratings to predict future opinions and behavior. Determine which promoters provided open-text responses with negative sentiment, and reach out accordingly to maintain their status as a promoter. 

  • Conversely, use Sentiment Analysis to detect Detractors who might have provided a neutral statement and offer them extra attention to increase their opinion of your organization.

 

Emotion Analysis Use Case

 

Understand which pieces of feedback convey emotion most strongly. Consider a company that wants to increase the number of positive ratings they receive on a public forum.

 

By analyzing the sentiment of the feedback they receive on-site, that company can identify users whose feedback contains the most joy surrounding their offering and, therefore, more likely to promote their company on a public forum.

 

They can incentivize those users to leave public feedback and increase their social presence.

 

Keywords Use Case

 

Use Qualaroo’s IBM Watson integration to understand which parts of your offering are successful or need attention. Consider a company that is gathering feedback to generate a Net Promoter Score. With Key Word analysis, determine which topics are associated with Promoters, Passives, and Detractors to understand where that company is doing well and where it needs to focus its attention.

 

We recommend using tools like Zapier or Webhooks to process your sentiment results in real-time. 

 

That is all about using Sentiment Analysis.
