How this will affect your organization
Azure Cognitive Services provides machine learning capabilities to analyze text for sentiment using a pre-trained model. Leveraging Azure Cognitive Services, messages already matching policy conditions will be categorized in “positive,” “negative,” or “neutral” sentiment, giving policy investigators more context to prioritize potentially riskier messages to address first.
This sentiment context will appear as a sentiment column in the “Pending” view of Communication Compliance without any setup required, however admins will have the ability to remove the sentiment column from view by going to the “Customize columns” action and choosing to enable/disable the column.
