Product development companies collect data in form of Engineering Change Requests for logged design issues, tests, and product iterations. These documents are rich in unstructured data (e.g. free text). Previous research affirms that product developers find that current IT systems lack capabilities to accurately retrieve relevant documents with unstructured data. In this research, we demonstrate a method using Natural Language Processing and document clustering algorithms to find structurally or contextually related documents from databases containing Engineering Change Request documents. The aim is to radically decrease the time needed to effectively search for related engineering documents, organize search results, and create labeled clusters from these documents by utilizing Natural Language Processing algorithms. A domain knowledge expert at the case company evaluated the results and confirmed that the algorithms we applied managed to find relevant document clusters given the queries tested.

The rapidly expanding field of big data analytics has started to play a pivotal role in the evolution of healthcare practices and research. It has provided tools to accumulate, manage, analyze, and assimilate large volumes of disparate, structured, and unstructured data produced by current healthcare systems. Big data analytics has been recently applied towards aiding the process of care delivery and disease exploration. However, the adoption rate and research development in this space is still hindered by some fundamental problems inherent within the big data paradigm. In this paper, we discuss some of these major challenges with a focus on three upcoming and promising areas of medical research: image, signal, and genomics based analytics. Recent research which targets utilization of large volumes of medical data while combining multimodal data from disparate sources is discussed. Potential areas of research within this field which have the ability to provide meaningful impact on healthcare delivery are also examined.

PurposeThe evaluation of perceived attribute performance reflected in online consumer reviews (OCRs) is critical in gaining timely marketing insights. This study proposed a text mining approach to measure consumer sentiments at the feature level and their asymmetric impacts on overall product ratings.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed 49,130 OCRs generated for 14 wireless earbud products on Amazon.com. Word combinations of the major quality dimensions and related sentiment words were identified using bigram natural language processing (NLP) analysis. This study combined sentiment dictionaries and feature-related bigrams and measured feature level sentiment scores in a review. Furthermore, the authors examined the effect of feature level sentiment on product ratings.FindingsThe results indicate that customer sentiment for product features measured from text reviews significantly and asymmetrically affects the overall rating. Building upon the three-factor theory of customer satisfaction, the key quality dimensions of wireless earbuds are categorized into basic, excitement and performance factors.Originality/valueThis study provides a novel approach to assess customer feature level evaluation of a product and its impact on customer satisfaction based on big data analytics. By applying the suggested methodology, marketing managers can gain in-depth insights into consumer needs and reflect this knowledge in their future product or service improvement.

Purpose This study aims to investigate and explore the impact of big data analytics (BDA) as a mechanism that could develop the ability to measure customers’ performance. To accomplish the research aim, the theoretical discussion was developed through the combination of the diffusion of innovation theory with the technology acceptance model (TAM) that is less developed for the research field of this study. Design/methodology/approach Empirical data was obtained using Web-based quasi-experiments with 104 Egyptian accounting professionals. Further, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the chi-square goodness-of-fit test were used to analyze data. Findings The empirical results indicate that measuring customers’ performance based on BDA increase the organizations’ ability to analyze the customers’ unstructured data, decrease the cost of customers’ unstructured data analysis, increase the ability to handle the customers’ problems quickly, minimize the time spent to analyze the customers’ data and obtaining the customers’ performance reports and control managers’ bias when they measure customer satisfaction. The study findings supported the accounting professionals’ acceptance of BDA through the TAM elements: the intention to use (R), perceived usefulness (U) and the perceived ease of use (E). Research limitations/implications This study has several limitations that could be addressed in future research. First, this study focuses on customers’ performance measurement (CPM) only and ignores other performance measurements such as employees’ performance measurement and financial performance measurement. Future research can examine these areas. Second, this study conducts a Web-based experiment with Master of Business Administration students as a study’s participants, researchers could conduct a laboratory experiment and report if there are differences. Third, owing to the novelty of the topic, there was a lack of theoretical evidence in developing the study’s hypotheses. Practical implications This study succeeds to provide the much-needed empirical evidence for BDA positive impact in improving CPM efficiency through the proposed framework (i.e. CPM and BDA framework). Furthermore, this study contributes to the improvement of the performance measurement process, thus, the decision-making process with meaningful and proper insights through the capability of collecting and analyzing the customers’ unstructured data. On a practical level, the company could eventually use this study’s results and the new insights to make better decisions and develop its policies. Originality/value This study holds significance as it provides the much-needed empirical evidence for BDA positive impact in improving CPM efficiency. The study findings will contribute to the enhancement of the performance measurement process through the ability of gathering and analyzing the customers’ unstructured data.

Der Beitrag erläutert, inwiefern die Methode der quantitativen Textanalyse ein wesentliches Mittel zur betriebswirtschaftlichen Effizienzsteigerung sein kann. Dabei geht der Artikel über die Nennung von Chancen und Risiken des Einsatzes von künstlicher Intelligenz/Big Data-Analysen hinaus, indem der Beitrag praxisorientiert wichtige Entwicklungen im Bereich der quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse aus der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Literatur herleitet. Nachfolgend unterteilt der Artikel die wichtigsten Schritte zur Implementierung in (1) Datenerhebung von quantitativen Textdaten, (2) Durchführung der generischen Textanalyse und (3) Durchführung des Natural Language Processing. Als ein Hauptergebnis hält der Artikel fest, dass Natural Language Processing-Ansätze zwar weiterführende und komplexere Einsichten bieten, jedoch das Potenzial generischer Textanalyse - aufgrund der Flexibilität und verhältnismäßig einfachen Anwendbarkeit im Unternehmenskontext - noch nicht ausgeschöpft ist. Zudem stehen Führungskräfte vor der dichotomen Entscheidung, ob programmierbasierte oder kommerzielle Lösungen für die Durchführung der Textanalyse relevant sind.

The Engineer Research and Development Center, Information Technology Laboratory’s (ERDC-ITL’s) Big Data Analytics team specializes in the analysis of large-scale datasets with capabilities across four research areas that require vast amounts of data to inform and drive analysis: large-scale data governance, deep learning and machine learning, natural language processing, and automated data labeling. Unfortunately, data transfer between government organizations is a complex and time-consuming process requiring coordination of multiple parties across multiple offices and organizations. Past successes in large-scale data analytics have placed a significant demand on ERDC-ITL researchers, highlighting that few individuals fully understand how to successfully transfer data between government organizations; future project success therefore depends on a small group of individuals to efficiently execute a complicated process. The Big Data Analytics team set out to develop a standardized workflow for the transfer of large-scale datasets to ERDC-ITL, in part to educate peers and future collaborators on the process required to transfer datasets between government organizations. Researchers also aim to increase workflow efficiency while protecting data integrity. This report provides an overview of the created Data Lake Ecosystem Workflow by focusing on the six phases required to efficiently transfer large datasets to supercomputing resources located at ERDC-ITL.
