CROWD-BASED SENTIMENT INDICES

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for generating a numerical index characterizing a socially observable area of interest. Content that is associated with an entity is received via one or more participating sources. The content received from the one or more participating sources is evaluated to identify qualitative and/or quantitative input providing an evaluation of an entity in a plurality of categories. The one or more participating sources of the qualitative and/or quantitative input are associated with a social sentiment. An overall entity value score is calculated, with aid of a programmable processor, based on the qualitative and/or quantitative input regarding the plurality of categories, thereby assessing social sentiment for the entity. Information relating to the qualitative and/or quantitative input or the overall entity score is displayed on the one or more devices.
