- AI sentiment analysis attributed negative sentiment to the term ‘Nintendo’ based off a relevancy of 94%
- Whereas ‘smart device’ was judged to have a positive sentiment
- The top three emotions found on the product launch page were: joy (58.34%), fear (44.56%) and sadness (45.54%)
London: Following the launch of the Nintendo Switch console, native advertising pioneers ADYOULIKE completed a sentiment analysis of the product launch page using an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tool. The ADYOULIKE Native Words AI is used to improve the targeting of native advertising across premium publishers.
It works by performing analysis of content, breaking it down as a relevancy percentage on keywords, entities, Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) categories and also sentiment of the page, whether it’s positive, negative or neutral. It also looks at the emotions expressed on a page.
It found on the Nintendo launch page:
- Negative sentiment toward ‘Nintendo’ based off a relevancy of 94%
- ‘Europe’ was judged to have negative sentiment at 37% relevancy
- Meanwhile, ‘smart device’ was found to have positive sentiment, with a 33% relevancy to the page
The main emotions found within the document were:
- Joy – 58.34%
- Sadness – 45.54%
- Fear – 44.56%
- Anger – 16.01%
- Disgust – 9.63%
Dale Lovell, UK MD at ADYOULIKE said of the analysis: “Our WORDS AI-driven technology, was able to analyse the full UK-product launch page in just a few seconds to reveal the underlying emotions and sentiments associated with Nintendo’s latest console.”
“It was interesting to see that in the context of the page the term ‘Nintendo’ was deemed to have a negative sentiment, in addition to this the top emotions expressed on the page were ‘joy, ‘sadness’ and ‘fear’. This may be a reflection of the lingering sentiment from the struggles the last Nintendo product, the Wii U, had.”
The ADYOULIKE Native Words AI works via IBM Watson. ADYOULIKE, in a world first, integrated IBM Watson into it’s DNA native advertising platform to enhance semantic targeting for native advertising last year. It forms an integral part of the ADYOULIKE DNA platform, an innovative in-feed native advertising technology.
