Time:               1pm-2pm
Location:        Nuffield Theatre, Building 6, Room 1081


Join us for a timely demonstration of what social media analytics are telling us - and not telling us - about the EU referendum on polling day itself.



1.      Ramine Tinati and Dominic Difranzo from the Social Machines Project<http://sociam.org/about> (SOCIAM) will show us what the polls, in combination with a number of other data sources, are telling us on the actual referendum day.



2.      "Predicting the EU referendum through sentiment analysis on social media"



Sarah Birchall is a Web Technology MSc student and her summer dissertation project aims to predict the EU referendum result by using social media. She is collecting tweets and online comments related to the EU referendum in order to perform sentiment analysis to determine the outcome of the referendum and create a web dashboard with data visualisations of the results.



All staff and students welcome - lunch provided so please book via Eventbrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wsi-lunchtime-event-tickets-25990935588> to help us plan the catering.



Regards

Sam
