How to Ensure Annotation Quality in Your AI Training Data

Qualitative Digital Listening is changing the way market research and consumer insights professionals assess customer conversations, opinions, and feedback available digitally. To extract actionable insights and make strategic choices, organizations need to collect structured, high-quality text data from different digital sources.

In market research, businesses scrutinize a variety of digital data sources (social media posts, online reviews, forum conversations, customer support chitchats, blogs, etc.) to gauge consumer sentiment, brand perception, new category trends, and unmet needs. With industry-specific curated digital listening data, businesses can build robust NLP products that formulate useful insights that enable them to make intelligent marketing and product decisions.

The Case for Qualitative Digital Listening in Market Research

Digital data is abundant, unstructured and changing quickly. There are rich insights from consumers to be found in various digital sources:

  • The conversations on social media
  • Product or service reviews
  • Online discussion boards
  • Customer support chat logs
  • Comments on blogs and influencers

Digital data must first be gathered, structured, annotated, and pre-processed to be used in machine learning (ML) and Natural Language Processors (NLP) for insights on sentiment, trends, and consumer behavior.
