2016 Conferences
The next Sentiment Analysis Symposium takes place in New York, July 12, 2016. And join us at LT-Accelerate in Brussels, 21-22 November, 2016.
Agenda
The Sentiment Analysis Symposium offers two tracks over two days:
- The Presentation Track features talks and panels about solutions and technologies that discern attitude, emotion, and connectedness -- in big data contexts -- in text, speech, video, and enterprise sources.
- The Workshop Track features longer-form technically-oriented coverage plus, July 16 afternoon, a conference-within-a-conference segment covering Sentiment Analysis for Financial Markets.
