Sentiment Detection in Text

Is this text happy, sad, or angry? This talk covers how machines can detect someone's emotions based on what they write and covers a few basic approaches to do so such as using simple machine learning models. We'll also discuss some real-life use cases for this technology as well as the ethics surrounding it.

This event was part of the Women in Computer Seminar series and took place as a live Zoom webinar on Tuesday 18 March 2025.
