Named entity recognition is now available in Russian via the Repustate API. Combined with Russian sentiment analysis, customers can now do full text analytics in Russian with Repustate. Repustate is happy to launch Russian named entity recognition to solutions already available in English & Arabic. But like all languages Russian has its nuances that caused named entity recognition to be a bit tougher than say English.
Repustate’s API welcomes a new member to the family this week. Our API will see two new updates this week. The first is our ever popular “clean-html” API call. We’ve beefed it up to handle more cases and to be more resilient in handling odd web pages. The next update is something we’re really happy about and that is our newest API call - ngrams.
The freemium business model has suited Repustate well to a point, but now it’s time to transition to a fully paid service. When Repustate launched all that time ago, it was a completely free service. We didn’t take your money even if you offered. The reason was we wanted more customer data to improve our various language models and felt giving software away for free in exchange for the data was a good bargain for both sides.
Segmenting Twitter hashtags to gain insight Twitter hashtags are everywhere these days and the ability to data mine them is an important one. The problem with hashtags is they are one long string that is composed of a few smaller ones. If we were able to segment the long hash tag into its individual words, we can gain some extra insight into the context of the tweet and maybe determine the twitter sentimentdetermine the twitter sentiment as a result.
Using social media for financial trading? Could Twitter posts affect the stock market? Could my photos on Pinterest cause the DOW to plunge? Well, maybe not but the financial wizards at Thomson Reuters are currently developing a new service to scan the general posts of many social media sites to get a feel for how the stock market might react according to public sentiment and current events.
Keeping your Repustate data in sync used to be a pain point - not anymore. Since we launched the Repustate Server nearly three years ago, the biggest complaint has always been keeping the Servers in-sync across the entire cluster. While previously we had resorted to using databases to keep all data synced up, it placed too much of a burden on our customers.
After months of development and great feedback from our private beta testers, Repustate is happy (and relieved) to release to the public multilingual sentiment analysis. Using the existing API and/or client libraries, you can now analyze text in languages other than English. At first, the languages Repustate supports are: German French and Spanish Arabic is in private testing and will be released shortly.
