Title: Artificial Sentiment: using machines to manage public sentiment on social media

Abstract: Social media is where public opinion is happening: where it’s born, where it grows / matures, and where it dies. In this talk I review techniques and approaches for machine processing of public sentiment on social media: how to analyze and understand it, how to react to it, and how to influence it. The age of artificial intelligence is upon us.
