Your Treasure Map to Your Desired Positioning

With the Neutrum TOPIC NAVIGATOR, you can clearly see which topics are close to your target group’s heart, how they are connected, and which aspects particularly move them in the process. In this way, you find the words that really appeal to your target group – and the arguments and opinion leaders with which you place your products in the desired contexts. The basis of the TOPIC NAVIGATOR is the AI-supported analysis of many freely formulated texts of your target group – e.g. from social media, journalism, service calls, social intranets or knowledge management systems.
Those who recognize what is relevant to their customers and in what context understand their use cases and needs much better – and see how they and their competitors are perceived in relation to them.

  • reduces wastage through channel time optimization
  • gets along without cookies
  • does not collect sensitive data

Frequently
Asked
Questions

about Topic Navigator
  • What data or systems do I need to use the Neutrum TOPIC NAVIGATOR?

    Our proprietary AI algorithms use our own further development of the so-called word embedding methods in Natural Language Processing. Of these, at least a few thousand text units are needed – these can be individual posts, articles, call logs or interviews, for example. The source system from which this text data comes – whether from call tracking tools, media monitoring dashboards, survey panels or knowledge management systems, for example – is secondary. They must only be able to be exported from their source system as full text.
    If data from media or websites are to be examined, you can also use the TOPIC NAVIGATOR without any database of your own: optionally, we are happy to use our own crawlers, scrapers and APIs to collect texts from the web for you and feed them into your topic navigator.

  • How does the Neutrum TOPIC Navigator determine which topics are relevant and how they are related?

    Our proprietary AI algorithms use our own further development of the so-called word embedding methods in Natural Language Processing. This means that the algorithms not only examine which words the target group uses – but in which context which combination of words occur and how this is related to what else the text is about and what emotional quality it has. In this way, the AI recognizes not only connections of meaning, but also which concepts and associations are decisive in each case. The sense clusters (= concepts) in the TOPIC NAVIGATOR are created on this basis. Aspects that always occur in connection with a concept (B only occurs when A occurs) are assigned to it as an association. The associations between concepts are based on how often both concepts occur in the same text.

  • What do the size of the dots, their distance and the lines mean?

    The larger a concept or association is, the larger its point is represented. The closer together two dots are, the more they are used by the target group in a similar context. The stronger the line between them, the more often they are mentioned by the target group directly in connection with each other.

  • I already have a media monitoring tool – what is new about it?

    The TOPIC NAVIGATOR is not a media monitoring tool – but an instrument for recognizing meaningful connections from text data and making them easy for you to navigate. If you have a media monitoring tool and want to use the TOPIC NAVIGATOR to investigate how people talk in the media – great, then load the data from your monitoring into the TOPIC NAVIGATOR. Because then you don’t just get word clouds and influencer lists, but a real mental map where you can identify the resonance, the appropriate media and opinion leaders for a specific argumentation… and discover what arguments there are in your market at all. But you can also feed the TOPIC NAVIGATOR with other sources – for example your social intranet, your knowledge management, chat logs etc.

  • In which languages does the Neutrum TOPIC NAVIGATOR work?

    The TOPIC NAVIGATOR works for all major world languages. We can provide quality assurance and support for English, French, German, Italian and limited support for Spanish and Dutch. For other languages, you would need to provide an expert for the QA process or hire a translation agency (unless our DeepL API is enough for you).
