MeaningCloud extends the concept of semantic API with a cloud-based framework that makes the integration of semantic processing into any system something close to a plug-and-play experience.[1] MeaningCloud is available both in SaaS mode and on-premises.

History

edit

MeaningCloud is a brand by MeaningCloud LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of MeaningCloud Europe S.L., previously known as Daedalus.[2] Daedalus was founded in 1998 by Jose C Gonzalez and other colleagues as a spin-off from their Artificial Intelligence research lab at the Technical University of Madrid.

In June of 2022, Reddit acquired MeaningCloud for an undisclosed sum. [3] [4]

Functionality

edit
  • Topic Extraction: identifies appearances of named entities and abstract concepts in the text.
  • Text Classification: assigns a text to one or several categories in a predefined taxonomy.
  • Sentiment Analysis: assigns a polarity (positive, negative, neutral) to a document or to the individual topics or attributes appearing in a document (aspect-based sentiment).
  • Text Clustering: discovers the underlying themes in a document collection and groups these documents according to their similarities and their adherence to those themes.

Integration and customization

edit

Advanced APIs provide a functionality optimized for diverse applications and ease of use. In addition, customization and integration capabilities offer a fast learning curve and a short time to obtain results.

  • Customized resource management tools allow users to easily incorporate their own semantic resources (dictionaries, taxonomies, sentiment models) to adapt the operation of the system to their needs.
  • SDKs and plug-ins increase the convenience and integrability of the APIs in the most common environments and platforms.[5] MeaningCloud provides SDKs for Java, Python, PHP, and Visual Basic, and plug-ins for Microsoft Excel and GATE.[6]

Research Applications

edit

Meaningcloud has been applied to compare French and English Tweets sentiment.[7]
