Questions for business (& government):

product} X?... about X versus {topic|person|product} Y?How has opinion about X and Y evolved?How has opinion correlated with {our|

competitors’|general} {news|marketing|sales|events}?

Who (and What, When & How) are opinion leaders?

How does sentiment propagate across multiple channels?

What’s behind opinion, the root causes?

Work backwards –What are your business goals?

What insights will help your reach them?

But we don’t always work this way. Sometimes we want to explore.

What data do you have, or can you get?

What business value does it contain, alone or when linked to other data?

How will might you get at that value?

What will you do with your discoveries?

How will they improve business processes and outcomes?

Primary considerations include –Adaptation or specialization: To a business or

cultural domain, language, information type (e.g., text, speech, images) & source (e.g., Twitter, e-mail, online news).

By-user customization possibilities: For instance, via custom taxonomies, rules, lexicons.

Sentiment resolution: Aggregate, message, or feature level. (What features? Topics, coreferenced entities?)

What sentiment? Valence & what else? Emotion? Intent?

Outputs: E.g., annotated text, models, indicators, dashboards, exploratory data interfaces.

Usage mode: As-a-service (API), installed, or hosted/cloud.

Capacity: Volume, performance, throughput.

Cost.

Sentiment sources (broadly):News/online.Social.Enterprise.

(To me, it’s all social, involving interactions.)

Consumption modes – tools, answers, or applications?1. General search engine.2. Siloed/vertical search interfaces, a.k.a.

monitoring tools.3. Exploratory-analysis interfaces.4. Application embedded.5. Widgets/gadgets.
