What is Text Analytics?
Text analytics, often called semantic AI, is a broad umbrella term that includes a large array of capabilities and applications, but the basic definition is that it is the use of software and knowledge models to analyze text and extract key information. The two most important functionalities are auto-categorization and data extraction:
Auto-categorization identifying the main idea(s) of documents, usually using a taxonomy. This is done with machine learning or semantic rules.
Data extraction of entities (people, places, organizations, etc.) and relationships such as companies merging

Text Analytics and Semantic AI
Question: How do you make Gen AI smarter, more useful, and more truthful?
Answer: Text Analytics (also known as Semantic AI)
As amazing as ChatGPT and the other Large Language Models are, they have a number of basic limitations:
- They have a tendency to hallucinate.
- They are entirely opaque – even their creators don’t know why they say what they do.
- They were trained on public information which is very different from content behind an enterprise firewall.
- Public information contains a great deal of bias.
Text analytics, as practiced by the KAPS Group, can help with all four limitations.
- For help with hallucinations and bias, see Using Text Analytics to fix Fake News .
- For help with transparency, a semantic AI approach to auto-categorization can open a window into Gen AI’s output.
- For help with enterprise vocabulary, that is what we have been doing for over 15 years: building text analytics enterprise solutions – see the range of articles and presentations on this site.
