Abstract |
Next week I will be speaking at the TL-Accelerate Conference (http://www.lt-accelerate.com/) in Brussels about a personal project called Transpolitics. Today I will show it to you at the WAI.
Transpolitics turns to the world of political trend analysis and polling by providing models that are capable of real time interpretation of public opinions related to specific parties, politicians, and topics. For the opinion mining we use sentiment analysis technology which is specifically adapted to the political domain. For the calculation of current popularity of politicians, and prediction of seat allocation distribution, we use statistical analysis models, which use sentiment and semantic values as input vectors, among others. We have currently tuned the models to the US Presidential Elections 2016 and we will give a demo during the presentation. |
