Social Media & Big Data
Would you like to know more about the actual meaning of the thousand threads on your Social Media profiles? Are you on the brink of taking the next step in analyzing Big Data and lan-guage? Do you want inspiration from other companies and specialists in the field?
We are bringing together the brightest minds from both business and science, including leading researchers from the US and Denmark, in two events on Social Media, Big Data and Language Technology in May (Copenhagen) and October (New York).
We seek to explore the challenges and opportunities hidden in the vast amount of unstructured, user-generated data stored on Social Media. Our mission is to help organizations and scientists connect through collaboration to achieve progress, to advance and to solve current problems.
The event in Copenhagen will consist of presentations of the latest results from research in senti-ment analysis, theme analysis and summarization. In addition, business leaders will present their current work within Social Media, challenges and potential solutions found in collaboration with researchers.
