Question 1

What does Tisane Text Analysis API do?

Accepted Answer

Tisane Text Analysis API is a specialized multilingual natural language processing service focused on deep linguistic analysis, content safety detection, and entity extraction across over 30 languages. Unlike general-purpose NLP APIs that offer surface-level text classification, Tisane performs full grammatical analysis including part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, and semantic role labeling, enabling applications that need to understand not just what a text is about but how its meaning is constructed.

The abuse and content safety detection capabilities are among the most advanced features. Tisane classifies harmful content into fine-grained categories: personal attack, bigotry, criminal activity, sexual advances, mental abuse, and self-harm — going significantly beyond a binary "toxic/not toxic" classification. Each detected issue is returned with the offending text span, category label, severity score, and offset position in the input string, enabling targeted responses like masking specific words rather than rejecting entire messages. This granularity is valuable for Nigerian social platforms that want nuanced moderation — warning a user about a borderline comment rather than immediately banning them.

Entity extraction identifies named entities (people, organizations, locations, dates, products, currencies) with type labels and optional enrichment from linked databases. For Nigerian news platforms, entity extraction can automatically tag articles with relevant people, organizations, and locations, building a structured knowledge graph from unstructured text. This powers features like "see all articles mentioning GTBank" or "all news about Lagos State" without manual tagging by editors.

Sentiment analysis returns document-level and aspect-level sentiment — understanding that a restaurant review might express positive sentiment about the food but negative sentiment about the service requires aspect-based analysis that sentence-level or document-level models miss. Nigerian businesses that aggregate customer reviews can use aspect-level sentiment to identify specific product or service attributes that customers love or complain about.

Language detection identifies the language of input text, critical for Nigerian platforms where users write in English, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and Nigerian Pidgin. The API handles code-switching (mixing languages within a single sentence), which is common in Nigerian social media communication. Tisane's sentiment analysis returns both document-level and entity-level sentiment scores. At the entity level, the API identifies named entities within the text (people, organizations, products, locations) and returns a sentiment polarity score specifically for how the text refers to each entity. This is a significant technical advantage over document-level sentiment analysis — a product review might express positive sentiment overall while containing negative sentiment toward a specific feature. Nigerian product teams and customer success platforms can use entity-level sentiment to identify specific product attributes drawing negative feedback without manual review. The rule-based approach for many of Tisane's classifiers also makes behavior more predictable and explainable compared to purely neural models, which is important for applications in regulated industries. Tisane's language detection handles texts as short as a single sentence reliably, which is important for social media and messaging contexts where individual short messages need to be identified before routing to the appropriate language-specific moderation model. Nigerian platforms serving multi-lingual communities where short comments might be in any of several languages benefit from accurate short-text language detection.
