Brand Matcher

The brand matcher processes all pages found by the Crawler, by matching them against the Brandwatch brand dictionary.

This dictionary contains, for each of the brands that we are currently tracking, a definition of what is (or isn't) a valid mention of the brand.

Once the brand matcher has found a valid brand mention, on a given page, it applies spam-filtering logic, as a second layer of security. This logic is industry-specific, and uses classifiers trained on manually marked up datasets.
