This document discusses how artificial intelligence is improving the analysis of social and customer data. It notes that language is complex with implicit meanings and that current text analytics have poor precision and recall. Machine learning, through supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised techniques, provides better analysis by discovering unseen patterns. Active machine learning replaces boolean searches with custom classifiers that achieve over 90% relevancy. Clear performance metrics make the models more transparent. Studies show these AI approaches achieve over 95% precision in social conversation analysis. They can help with brand equity, campaign measurement, customer experience, and linking social data to sales metrics.
