Alison Holland: Quantifying User Feedback – How Text Mining Helped Me Become A Better Listener To Our Users

A lot of user feedback comes in written form and it can be tricky to keep track of the most pressing issues. Text mining in R opened a whole new analysis opportunity that began with analysing written feedback in surveys, then evolved into combining reviews, customer support feedback and survey feedback in a visual and quantifiable way. Alison led us through her process of survey analytics.
