Going Beyond Numbers: Creating Business Value from Unstructured Data

Abstract

A lot of unstructured data, such as text, images, speech and videos, contains quite valuable information that is not being utilized to the fullest by businesses today. In this presentation, we will discuss examples of using unstructured text data (reviews, comments, blogs, posts, articles, etc.) to develop predictive models and business insights for three use cases – lookalike modelling using social media conversations, content personalization using customer reviews, and sentiment analysis using data from blog posts and articles. We will also discuss various machine learning and big data technologies that are commonly used for analyzing large volumes of unstructured data.

In this presentation, we will discuss how unstructured data, such as reviews, comments, blogs, posts, articles, etc. was used to provide business insights and improve marketing effectiveness for our client in the space of social media advertising.
