ABSTRACT
The tremendous growth and popularity of social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, etc. provides business organizations an opportunity to monitor the feedback from its customers, identify their problems and take corrective measures. In this paper, we describe a system to automatically monitor and analyze customer feedback through various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc. and detect issues faced by the customers. Business organizations can use this system to engage with their customers and help alleviate the problems faced by them. The system uses statistical event detection techniques for identifying various customer issues. The system offers a batch version as well as real time version of event detection algorithm depending upon the client's requirements. We also describe a few case studies illustrating the utility of our proposed system for business organizations in identifying issues faced by their customers through social media channels.
