Need mining

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Needmining is a process for the automated identification of needs in innovation management . Using methods from natural language processing and machine learning , social media posts are analyzed and those that contain customer needs are identified. These are then processed and sent to the end user, e.g. B. an innovation manager available. This enables the needs of customers and potential customers to be recorded in a scalable and automatable manner. These can also be presented in a summarized and aggregated manner in order to e.g. B. Identify trends.

In contrast to existing methods of needs identification such as interviews, focus groups or surveys, the process can be largely automated and allows large amounts of data to be processed in real time.
