If you’re the PR or Marketing lead in any of the two operations, this question is a real pain. Every day, its your job to be sorting out the mentions that could potentially have something to do with your organization; Is the agitated forum discussion about that last Paris Hilton gig, or the Hilton Hotel in Paris? It is menial, annoying and very costly as it relies on brute manpower to get through it all.
So, when monitoring the Hilton Hotel in Paris, Imooty uses advanced text recognition to eliminate the Paris Hilton mentions from the search results. But how do we do that? Initially, we feed the software with selected articles that clearly are about the Hilton Hotel in Paris and Paris Hilton, the artist. Having learned what the two categories look like, the software can start to automatically separate them from one-another.
Named entity recognition, pretty cool tool, is what that is.
The sheer amount of social media data to go through is what makes this problem a real issue. People now share common interest and experiences with like minded strangers and the total amount of digital information in the world double 2 times EVERY DAY!

What used to be called Public Relations, has become Community Management. Gone are the days of one-to-many communication (mass media) when getting a message out there was to get a journalist interested enough to consider doing a story. Social media on the other hand, is a one-to-one-to-many format and to keep track, you need more than a fancy way of counting online mentions.
The future is in analytical applications that educate users about things they don’t already know. It’s about gaining knowledge of the unknown, combining the data of the past with strategic solutions that help you move forward. Together with Yukka GmbH, Imooty offers interpretation of large data pools by way of computer linguistic tools.
