Welcome! My name is Roberto García Calero, I’m a Software Engineering student at the University of Seville and also a proud member of Geographica, an awesome location intelligence company!
I want to introduce you Sento, my Undergraduate Thesis Project.
The idea
Sento, sentiment in Esperanto, will be the combination of the sentiment analysis teachings I will learn during this year and the professional experience I’m gaining as a GIS (Geographic Information System) engineer at my job. It will also be a new ground for trying out new programming languages and libre/open source technologies.
Sento will be a desktop web application which provides its users insights about how Twitter users have reacted to current trending topics. The information will be presented on top of a map, giving the possibility to observe diffrences on how a person reacts to a topic based on where he/she lives and also see how the relevance of a topic might change depending of the region.
The workflow
This is a very simple outline of how Sento will work:
- Sento will collect tweets from the trending topics of a country.
- The collected tweets will be processed using sentiment analysis techniques.
- The processing results will be stored in a convinient way for them to be published through an API.
- The API will serve the results to the users who accessed the app.
- The app’s frontend will render the results.
Closing
After a brief introduction to the idea of Sento, I would like to share with you an interesting musical map!
