Draft:Semantic Brand Score

  • Comment: Stemming and sources. Stemming of words like "golden" does not remove word affixes because of the Porter's stemming algorithm. It can be tested here http://text-processing.com/demo/stem/ and here https://9ol.es/porter_js_demo.html.
    Added additional secondary sources well describing the metric.
    This article is significantly different than the one previously deleted (and with much more secondary sources).

  • Comment: Connections between words are established based on their co-occurrence within a specified proximity, such as within a sentence. Pre-processing of natural language is preliminary [sic] used to refine texts, involving tasks like eliminating stopwords and word affixes through stemming. The proximity in the illustration is not one sentence but three significant words. And it is curious that the "e" of purple is -- I infer -- an "affix" (to allow for purplish, etc?) but the "en" of golden is not.
    Perhaps good sources on the "Semantic Brand Score" put this more convincingly. Hoary (talk) 23:41, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

The Semantic Brand Score (SBS) is a measure of brand importance that is calculated on textual data[1][2][3]. The measure is rooted in graph theory and partly connected to Keller's[4] conceptualization of brand equity[5]. The metric has been computed by examining different text sources, such as newspaper articles, online forums, scientific papers, or social media posts[6][7][8].

Definition and calculation

edit

Pre-processing

edit

To compute the Semantic Brand Score, it is necessary to convert the analyzed texts into word networks, i.e., graphs where each node signifies a word. Connections between words are formed based on their co-occurrence within a specified distance threshold (a number of words). Natural language pre-processing is usually conducted to refine texts, which involves tasks such as removing stopwords and applying stemming[9] to eliminate word affixes. Here is a sample network derived from pre-processing the sentence "The dawn is the appearance of light - usually golden, pink or purple - before sunrise".

 

The SBS is a composite indicator with three dimensions: prevalence, diversity and connectitivy[10][11][12]. SBS measures brand importance, a construct that cannot be understood by examining a single dimension alone[5].

Prevalence

edit

Prevalence measures the frequency of brand name usage, indicating how often a brand is explicitly referenced in a corpus. The prevalence factor is associated with brand awareness, suggesting that a brand mentioned frequently in a text is more familiar to its authors[10][11][8]. Likewise, frequent mentions of a brand name enhance its recognition and recall among readers.

Diversity

edit

Diversity assesses the variety of words linked with a brand, focusing on textual associations. These textual associations refer to the words used alongside a particular brand or term. Measurement involves employing the degree centrality indicator, reflecting the number of connections a brand node has in the semantic network[1]. Alternatively, an approach using distinctiveness centrality[13] has been proposed, assigning greater significance to unique brand associations and reducing redundancy. The rationale is that distinctive textual associations enrich discussions about a brand, thereby enhancing its memorability.

Diversity can be calculated for the brand node in a semantic network, i.e., a weighted undirected graph G, made of n nodes and m arcs. If two nodes, i and j, are not connected, then  , otherwise the weight of the arc connecting them is  . In the following,   is the degree of node j and   is the indicator function which equals 1 if  , i.e. if there is an arc connecting nodes i and j.

 .

Connectivity

edit

Connectivity evaluates a brand's connective power within broader discourse, indicating its capacity to serve as a bridge between various words/concepts (nodes) in the network[1][2][3][12]. It captures a brand's brokerage power, its ability to connect different words, groups of words, or topics together. The calculation hinges on the weighted betweenness centrality metric[3].[14]

The Semantic Brand Score indicator is given by the sum of the standardized values of prevalence, diversity, and connectivity[1][10][11]. SBS standardization is typically performed by subtracting the mean from the raw scores of each dimension and then dividing by the standard deviation [3]. This process takes into account the scores of all relevant words in the corpus.
