Text Classification, Summarisation and Sentiment Tagging

Classification, summarisation and sentiment work on the written half of your records, such as complaint remarks. Each gets a category, a tone and a summary, so free text becomes countable fields.

Free-text remarks in service records

Most service records have a free-text remarks column. It often holds the real reason customers are unhappy, and no report can read a paragraph. A supervisor might read fifty remarks, but reading thousands is not practical. Once each remark carries a category and a tone, the pattern becomes a chart an operations head can act on.

What gets done to the text

Categories

The list is your own, agreed with the team who handle the work, and not a generic set of labels borrowed from elsewhere.

Tone

A rough reading of how unhappy the writer is. It suits sorting a queue and is poor as a precise measurement.

Summary

A long thread or a rambling note is reduced to a few lines, with the original always one click away.

Extraction

Named things are pulled out of the text: a model number, a site, a competitor mentioned, a promised date.

Mixed-language text as it is written

Records are often not in tidy English. Local languages typed in English letters, abbreviations, half sentences and a model number in the middle are normal. Accuracy is therefore tested on your own text and not on a clean sample. Categories are tuned until your supervisor agrees with the labels on a batch they read themselves.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does this handle non-English and regional-language text?

Yes, including the mixed typing most businesses produce. Accuracy varies by language and by how much of your own text is available to tune against, and it is reported per language.

Who decides the categories?

You do, usually starting from a list your team already uses informally. A first pass over old records often reveals a category nobody had named, and it is added before anything is fixed.

Can the results feed our existing reports?

Yes. The category, tone and summary are written back as fields against each record, so your dashboards and scheduled reports treat them like any other column.

What if our volume of text is small?

Then a person can read it. This work pays off only when the volume passes what anybody will read.
