Machine Learning Makes Twitter Smarter in Portuguese

July 14, 2011 - PRLog -- La Jolla CA | São Paulo – Marketing consumer products in Brazil is about to get a lot easier thanks to a small, innovative software company. Arquiware is combining artificial intelligence with natural language processing to enable companies to analyze feelings and opinions social media networks. They are among the first in the world to apply techniques to create tools that enable companies to understand the sentiments of customers.

“Many multi-nationals come to Brazil then realize that it takes more than understanding Portuguese to understand how a brand interacts with consumers.” said Luis Lima, President of Arquiware, “In fact, the diversity of Brazil makes it almost impossible to understand our market unless you use sophisticated tools to extract the true meaning of what people are saying about you.”

Arquiware will add ai-one’s Topic-Mapper SDK to build artificial intelligence into two existing products. SentimentWare and TopicExtractWare analyze text data from social media networks and news feeds. The new capability gives Arquiware clients the ability to understand how any given news event will impact the perception of a brand.

ai-one’s technology is used by telecom companies, security and law enforcement agencies to enable computers to read text in a similar manner to humans. “We are thrilled that Arquiware will apply our technology to social media sentiment analysis. They are ahead of the efforts I have seen in Silicon Valley,” commented Olin Hyde, VP of Business Development for ai-one.
