One AI, a platform that enables developers to add language AI to products and services, announced it has entered into a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

One AI’s advanced natural language processing (NLP) platform allows developers to analyze and process large amounts of text, audio and video data through an application programming interface (API) for a range of use cases, including analyzing and understanding email threads for customer sentiment or reactions, extracting important points in a conversation, examining and breaking down all data from call centers, and determining positive and negative feedback on various subjects from social media posts and product reviews.

Businesses and developers can create their own Language Skills or choose from a library that includes capabilities such as advanced data extraction, transcription, summarization, sentiment analysis, emotion recognition, and action item detection.

Uniform and Algolia partner

January 16, 2023 /

Uniform announced a partnership with Algolia. With the new integration, marketers and merchandisers can query Agolia within Uniform Canvas to show either for specific results, such as blog entries or products, or a dynamic range based on a search query. This process uses Algolia to deliver results quickly and can be used with any connected index within Algolia. These results can also be used for testing and personalization using Uniform Context. 

In practice, this means that a Canvas component can be connected to an Algolia index built from a commerce engine, then set to search for either alternative products (e.g., showing alternative brown leather shoes when viewing a product detail page) or complementary products to drive cross-sales (e.g., Brown belts and bags to match the shoes being viewed.) As new products are added to the index, the component automatically adds the most relevant options, to boost conversions without manual work. This can be used to recommend content or tutorials to support marketing use cases. 

With Algolia’s prebuilt front-end component, business users can control the display of search results (pagination, columns, other page content), also the display of the images in the Algolia index without developer support.

Lexalytics expands NLP capabilities across foreign languages

January 12, 2023 /

Lexalytics, an InMoment company and provider of AI-based, natural language processing (NLP) technology, announced it has improved accuracy and expanded NLP capabilities for 11 non-English languages. Now global brands and businesses can analyze unstructured data natively and benefit from full-featured text analytics to better understand their customers and make more informed decisions across 31 total languages.

While some companies offer a range of NLP features in languages other than English, few cover the sheer number that Lexalytics supports. Many rely on machine translation before processing which can decrease the accuracy of the analysis. Because Lexalytics processes text data in its native language, it can take into account specific nuances and complexities of that language, and better understand the meaning and context of the text.

Lexalytics has expanded feature coverage to include entities, themes, summarization, sentiment (at the document and item level), categorization, and part-of-speech tagging for the following 11 languages: Arabic, Danish, Finnish, Hebrew, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese. Lexalytics continues to offer full-featured support for an additional 20 languages. These expanded language capabilities are available for customers of Lexalytics’ Salience, Semantria API, and Spotlight application, as well as InMoment’s XI Platform.

Bloomreach adds catalog management feature

January 12, 2023 /

Bloomreach announced a new feature from Bloomreach Discovery that gives merchandisers greater control over their product catalogs. With Catalog Management, merchandising teams can use business user-friendly tools to configure and manage all product catalogs within their account. Bloomreach Discovery customers now provides all users with the ability to see data import activity and make configuration changes in real time. They are also able to select which data attributes they want to show up in the product feed, ensuring product data is relevant for their business and for customer queries.

The data implementation process for product discovery tools can take time, and often becomes more complicated with larger product catalogs. This can lead to delays in generating value from the tool, as merchandisers have to wait for the implementation process to be completed before they can make changes or customizations to the data. Catalog Management solves for this issue directly by enabling search and merchandising teams to manage the data integration process on their own. It offers users the ability to view, manage, diagnose, and explore data across all the catalogs in their account, allowing them to optimize their merchandising, make necessary changes or customizations in real-time.
