Social Sentiment Analysis: Get trained by the SSIX project

What is the aim? To analyse and understand social media users' attitudes for any given topic.

Why? These sentiment characteristics can be exploited to help SME’s operate more efficiently resulting in increased revenues.

For example, using SSIX, people’s engagement and opinion regarding products, companies, political candidates, etc. can be followed and evaluated in real time.

How? SSIX is searching and indexing conversations taking place on social network services, such as Twitter, StockTwits and Facebook.

09:00 - 10:50 Introduction to GATE
10:50 - 11:10 Coffee Break
11:10 - 13:00 GATE for sentiment analysis
