From a workshop presented at MinneWebCon 2018. Keywords are the life’s blood of a marketing enterprise. Most marketing organizations struggle to find the right keywords for their teams. At IBM we built a keyword ontology, which is a fancy name for a set of taxonomies related to the keywords our target audiences most often use in their search queries. We use the ontology to ensure that new pages are built with the language of the customer. This workshop discusses the use of AI-enhanced processes to drive keyword management, as well as practical methods for search and IA success.

Analyzing Petabyte Scale Financial Data with Apache Pinot and Apache Kafka | ...HostedbyConfluent
At Stripe, we operate a general ledger modeled as double-entry bookkeeping for all financial transactions. Warehousing such data is challenging due to its high volume and high cardinality of unique accounts.
aFurthermore, it is financially critical to get up-to-date, accurate analytics over all records. Due to the changing nature of real time transactions, it is impossible to pre-compute the analytics as a fixed time series. We have overcome the challenge by creating a real time key-value store inside Pinot that can sustain half million QPS with all the financial transactions.
We will talk about the details of our solution and the interesting technical challenges faced.

26. More than just topics/keywords
•What is the purpose of the content? Does it explain a concept, express an opinion, describe a case study?
•Example types: Explainer, Opinion/POV, Case studyContent type
•How is the content expressed? Is it a web page? A PDF? A video animation?
•Example formats: Web article, Downloadable PDF, Video animationContent format
•Where did the content come from?
•Example publisher types: Client, Partner, AnalystPublisher type
•What is the content about?
•Example topics: blockchain, data science, cloud computingTopic
•Who is the content for?
•Example audiences: data scientist, CFO, doctorAudience/role
•What industries is this content relevant in?
•Example industries: aerospace, energyIndustry
•What IBM offerings or offering categories does the content describe?
•Example products/solutions: Watson HealthcareProduct/Solution
•When is the content relevant to the intended audience?
•Example stages: Learn, Try, BuyBuyer stage
27. The challenge of enterprise content strategy
• 200K relevant English keywords
• 10 other languages with at least 100K relevant keywords
• 300 million pages
• 100K assets: Videos, white papers, case studies, demos, etc.
• Total opportunity = 300 million users
• More than 100 personas
• Uncertainty
• How do we know that the 1.2 M keywords is even the right set?
• Assuming it is, how do we prioritize opportunities?
• How do we determine who should own the page/asset that is the best
answer for the question implicit in the query?
31. Informational
Navigational
Transactional
Three categories of audience intent
I don’t know the topic, but I want to start learning about it. Where do I start?
I know the topic, but what’s the best page for reference on it?
What’s the best place to buy this thing, or get help for that thing?
32. When users search with a
“what is” query, they are just
starting to learn about the topic
EXAMPLE
The best way to learn the
audience intent for a query is
by reading the search results,
and gathering clues about the
audience and infer what they
are trying to do
33. Three Steps to Building a Keyword Ontology
Identify keywords
Determine semantic clusters (Concepts)
Associate Concepts to each other
34. Tools for Building Your Keyword Ontology
Tool Use Examples
Keyword research • Identify high-value keywords
• Identify high-ranking URLs
• BrightEdge
• Google Keyword Planner
• Ubersuggest
Natural language processing (NLP) • Keyword / entity extraction • GATE
• OpenNLP
• Watson NLU
Machine learning • Text classification
• Keyword clustering
• scikit-learn
• Watson NLC
Data transformation • Convert ML outputs (e.g. JSON)
to RDF
• OpenRefine
Ontology management • Domain modeling
• Keyword / Group associations
• PoolParty
• Protégé
• TopBraid EVN
35. Cognitive Keyword Classifier
§ Select seed keywords from KIS
§ Identify top-ranking pages (IBM and non-IBM)
Select portfolio-segment
Keywords
Use AlchemyAPI to scrape
SERPs and identify
recurring Concepts
Normalize Concepts to
taxonomy
Train Watson NLC on
Keyword/Concept pairs
Classify Keywords using
Watson NLC API
Refine training data to
improve performance
§ Scrape text of ranking pages (60-70 pages / minute)
§ Apply NLP and machine learning algorithm
§ Identify clusters of co-occurring Keywords and
Concepts
§ Consolidate Concepts
§ Harmonize to existing IBM vocabularies
§ Train Classifier on seed data
§ Measure Recall and Precision using test data
§ Submit keywords to Classifier
§ Process JSON output
§ Flag incorrect or low-scoring test classifications
§ Re-train the Classifier as needed
36. Training Data: Keyword / Concept pairs
“Data scientists spend 60% of their
time on cleaning and organizing data.
Collecting data sets comes second at
19% of their time, meaning data
scientists spend around 80% of their
time on preparing and managing data
for analysis.”
- Gil Press, Forbes magazine

38. Classifier Output: Weeding Out
Weak Matches and “Laughers”
§ Limit classifier confidence score to exclude:
– Weak classification matches
– Noisy or marginally-relevant keywords
§ Low scores can also indicate candidate Concepts
§ Test threshold score: ≥ 0.25 for “keepers”
§ Ask: Do the training data introduce bias?

47. Two kinds of audiences: business people and specialists
Business people tend to use
informational queries to learn about
topics and products that are not in their
core areas of expertise
They also use transactional queries to
move towards purchase
Specialists use a lot more
navigational queries to get reference
information about topics or products
within their areas of expertise.
They also use social networks to
connect with influencers on these topics 47
49. Two kinds of queries: unbranded and branded
Audiences start with unbranded queries, and only move to branded queries when they’re ready

52. Using Keywords to Drive Auto-tagging
• Starting point: Topic taxonomy
• Derived from content analysis and keyword research,
as well as competitive benchmarking
• Extended taxonomy with custom properties:
• Text signals that are used to train the auto-classifier
• Phrases derived from iterative analysis

56. Scenario:
• You are an entrepreneur with a vision to sell your specialized line of ice cream to health-conscious
consumers.
• The market is highly competitive, and you need your content to be findable.
• As part of your digital marketing strategy, you need to map the knowledge domain of healthy frozen
desserts so that you can identify high-value keywords and incorporate them into your content.
57. Exercise 1: Keyword Identification
• Analyze Web content from your subject domain.
• Examine a variety of sources: references, news, magazines, trade publications, blogs, reviews, etc.
• Identify keywords that represent your domain.
• Write each keyword on an index card.
Resources: sites.google.com/view/keyword-ontology
Seed keywords:
• healthy ice cream
• organic ice cream
• low-fat ice cream
• low-calorie ice cream
• vegan ice cream
Keyword research tools:
• k-meta.com
• serpstat.com
• neilpatel.com/ubersuggest
58. Exercise 1: Keyword Identification: ”Quick and Easy”
Example: k-meta.com
• Search your seed keyword; e.g., healthy ice cream
• On the Keyword Overview page, scroll down to Organic results
• Click on top-ranking URL
• Select high-volume keywords (record on cards)
• Repeat for additional URLs and keywords
Resources: sites.google.com/view/keyword-ontology
Seed keywords:
• healthy ice cream
• organic ice cream
• low-fat ice cream
• low-calorie ice cream

61. Exercise 2: Card Sorting
• Review the keywords that you identified in Exercise 1.
• Arrange the cards into groups that make sense.
• Name each group.
• Present your findings and lessons learned.
Tip: Group together keywords that are:
• Synonyms (ex.: cars, automobiles)
• Stemmed forms (ex.: project management, project
managers)
• Conceptually related (ex.: apples, peaches, pears,
cherries, etc.)
Tip: You can arrange groups into a hierarchy.
• Dogs
• Hounds
• Sporting breeds
• Toy breeds
• Terriers
Remember: There is no single correct answer. The objective is to define organizing principles and
then group the keywords accordingly.
