DESCRIPTION:This workshop will have 2 hours based in a classroom and 2 ho
 urs in a computer suite.\n\nLecture (2 hours): This will describe how se
 ntiment can be automatically detected in social web texts with human lev
 el accuracy by a multilingual program\, SentiStrength\, which uses a set
  of easily understandable\, common-sense rules. SentiStrength estimates 
 the strength of positive and negative sentiment in the short informal te
 xts that are prevalent on the web\, such as in Twitter\, and is employed
  by Yahoo! and a range of other research-based and commercial users. The
  talk will give examples of applications of sentiment analysis to social
  media research\, marketing\, software product enhancement and interacti
 ve art installations but will have a particular focus on social science 
 research applications.\n\nWorkshop (2 hours): This will involve hands-on
  practice with software\, Mozdeh\, for automatically gathering tweets ma
 tching a set of keyword searches. This session will not only use Mozdeh 
 for gathering tweets but will also experiment with analysing it for sent
 iment (with SentiStrength)\, for topic (with word frequency analyses) an
 d for changes over time (with time series graphs).
