Generative AI for data analytics - Talkwalker

Written by Talkwalker | December 5, 2023

Generative AI is crucial for the future of social data analytics. In this article, we explore the role of Generative AI for data analytics. And look at how Talkwalker is using it to drive Next Generation Social Listening.

What is generative AI?

Generative AI encompasses a category of artificial intelligence that excels in generating fresh content based on existing information. Unlike traditional AI models that focus on data analysis and interpretation, generative AI goes further by generating original outputs.

At its core, generative AI relies on machine learning algorithms, particularly those based on neural networks. These networks are trained on extensive datasets and acquire the ability to recognize patterns or structures within the data. After being trained, these models have the ability to generate new data that bears a striking resemblance to the training set. For instance, a generative AI model that has been trained on thousands of paintings can produce fresh artwork that captures the essence of an artist's unique style.

A significant breakthrough in generative AI is the development of models like GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) for text generation. These models exhibit an extraordinary grasp of context, style, and even abstract ideas. This empowers them to produce remarkably refined and nuanced results.

Generative AI finds wide-ranging applications in creative arts, content generation, design, and more. Its innovative and creative abilities position it at the forefront of AI, pushing the boundaries of machine-assisted creativity. And now we’re seeing it delivering results within social listening.

How can generative AI be used in social listening?

Managing and interpreting a vast number of brand mentions can be one of the most significant hurdles in social listening. When monitoring numerous social media channels, the sheer volume of mentions, ranging from thousands to millions each month, can be overwhelming.

Generative AI revolutionizes data analysis by transforming vast amounts of information into concise and comprehensible summaries. Instead of grappling with an overwhelming number of mentions, you are presented with straightforward and insightful observations in plain language.

It also enables interactive assistants, allowing you to ask questions about your data, with simple answers in return.
