Semantic analysis is a computer science term for understanding the meaning of words in text information. It uses machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to make sense of the relationship between words and grammatical correctness in sentences.
Sentiment analysis vs. semantic analysis
A sentiment analysis solution categorizes text by understanding the underlying emotion. It works by training the ML algorithm with specific datasets or setting rule-based lexicons. Meanwhile, a semantic analysis understands and works with more extensive and diverse information. Both linguistic technologies can be integrated to help businesses understand their customers better.
