The Text Analytics Marketplace: Competitive landscape and trends
As I see it, there are eight distinct market areas that each depend heavily on linguistic technology. Five are off-shoots of what used to be called “information retrieval”:
1. Web search
2. Public-facing site search
3. Enterprise search and knowledge management
4. Custom publishing
5. Text mining and extraction
Three are more standalone:
6. Spam filtering
7. Voice recognition
8. Machine translation
This list comes from a talk I gave Monday at the Text Analytics Summit called The Text Analytics Marketplace: Competitive landscape and trends. In half an hour, I covered the first five areas (in Sue Feldman’s word, at a “gallop”). The slide deck has been uploaded to the link below. I plan to break out the material from the talk into a series of blog posts over the next few (or perhaps not-so-few) weeks.
Slides:
Other posts based on those slides:
- Three specialized markets for text analytics (based on Slide 2)
- 6 trends that could shake up the text analytics market (based on Slide 19)
- Why search technologies are going to recombine (in A World of Bytes, based on Slide 19)
