Our client, a global conglomerate and manufacturer of both passenger and commercial vehicles, recognized the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market in China. To gain a competitive edge, they sought an AI-driven solution – specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP) – to identify and continuously monitor real-time consumer preferences for EVs in this critical market.
By gaining real-time insights, they aimed to not only understand current consumer preferences, but also to detect and proactively respond to changes at an early stage. This comprehensive view would encompass not just customer sentiment, but also the evolving landscape of regulations, supplier capabilities, and competitor strategies. This intelligence would empower them to make informed and strategic decisions that position them for success in the rapidly growing Chinese EV market.
What Was Done
We developed an AI-powered monitoring system capable of analyzing multi-lingual news articles and social media (in Chinese and English). Web scraping and Natural Language Processing-driven keyword extraction and text classification techniques were used to identify and sort prospective customers, their behavior, and purchase intention. Activities include:
- Translation: Chinese news articles were immediately translated into English.
- Extraction: Relevant news articles were extracted daily from 63 multilingual sources and websites.
- Natural Language Processing methods were then applied to these articles. The techniques analyze the text itself, extracting key information like sentiment, emerging trends, and specific topics of interest related to EVs.
- Search: Keyword-based search in translated and original news articles.
- Breaking News: Important news was immediately detected and directly displayed in the user interface.
- Social Media: Social media heat map to analyze social media posts.
Gaining a competitive edge in the Chinese EV market: Real-time consumer insights propel growth.
