Our Topic Engagement Service was named a 2021 SIIA CODiE Award finalist in the Best Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Content Solution category. Finalists represent the best products, technologies, and services in software, information and business technology.
The Best Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Content Solution category recognizes the product, tool, or solution that leverages artificial intelligence, machine and deep learning algorithms to enhance their product features, and provide users with a more intelligent, automated, scalable solution.
Acknowledged as the premier awards programme for the software and information industries for over 35 years, the SIIA CODiE Awards are produced by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software, education, media and digital content industries. Topic Engagement Service was honoured as one of 153 finalists across the 43 business technology categories, including two categories in response to COVID-19.
“The 2021 CODiE Award finalists continued to innovate, pivot and grow to develop truly remarkable products throughout an historically challenging year. These finalists maintain the vital legacy of the CODIEs in spotlighting the best and most impactful apps, services and products serving the business tech market. Congratulations to this year’s finalists on this well deserved recognition,” said Jeff Joseph, SIIA President.
About Topic Engagement Service
Topic engagement is a service that shows what the leading topics from disparate sources of news articles for the day are according to the readers’ interactions with them so that our clients can quickly decide whether to invest additional time and resources in a given topic. Document collection is clustered into groups with a similar topic which is described by a set of keywords. Each document is annotated with a quantity of Facebook comments, shares and reactions (engagement), so that engagement can be easily assigned to a particular topic. Topic modeling, a key part of the whole analysis, is based on a statistical approach and is language-agnostic.
Topic engagement is a powerful tool showing what news topics readers and social media users engage with the most and just how they do so. This service can be employed by editorial teams to decide which rapidly trending topics to allocate additional resources to; measure impact and reactions in near real-time by following direct interactions and social media footprint; analyze topic popularity with certain outlets and authors or even locations; and, if coupled with sentiment analysis, even survey public opinion.
Brands and agencies can take advantage of such insights into organically-forming and engaging topics as part of their communication strategy; they can also track the engagement footprint for specific articles, companies, or opinion leaders on a granular level.
Emerging industry topics that gain traction can be pinpointed early on by engagement tracking and help companies, as well as specialised media outlets, plan communications and resources.
We are offering a new approach to the application of media consumption data with a focus on measuring interaction with ongoing news topics, social and political leaders, and industry players, combined with attitude analysis to give insight into the actions shaping the online mediascape and understanding the reactions to it.
What makes this technology’s potential so great is the way it allows data to be viewed from multiple perspectives which, in turn, helps one draw better, more informed conclusions.
This tool is interesting not only for publishers, but also for Media Monitoring & Analyses service providers. With this technology, companies can give their clients the opportunity to track what is written on or said about a topic. With this tool, you can provide data about user engagement with a given topic, and this metric would be quite real, not abstract, especially when it comes to traditional media.
