SENTIMENT ANALYSIS IN SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENTS USING NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES Author: Tamara Álvarez López Advisors: Enrique Costa Montenegro, Milagros Fernández Gavilanes Affiliation: AtlantTIC Research Center, University of Vigo MOTIVATION OBJECTIVES Automatic sentence-level SA system. ➢ Growth of social networks and ➢ Fine-grained SA system, by means of aspect ➢ their users. detection. New way of expression. ➢ Application and adaptation to different datasets ➢ Very valuable information for and contexts. ➢ companies, who need to analyse it. Implementation for English and Spanish. ➢ e.g. Service was nice but price was not worth it and food quality was very miserable. Sentence-level SA Natural Language Processing ➢ Great amount of (NLP) techniques. ➢ Service information available Applied in fields like: Sentiment Price ➢ Aspect-level SA online. Analysis (SA) , Aspect Food quality Difficult to analyse. Extraction , Text Generation, Entity ➢ Recognition, etc.

DATA-DRIVEN ALLOCATION OF NETWORK RESOURCES IN UDNs SILVESTRE LOMBA MALTA, SUPERVISED BY MANUEL FERNANDEZ VEIGA Ultra-dense networks (UDN) have been considered one of the most advanced technologies in 5G and • can be the key to meet users’ expectations. Due to UDN characteristics, energy management and energy consumptions are serious challenges to • network operators. Studies have concluded that Base Stations consume about 60%-80% of energy use in cellular networks. • In my thesis, I would like to contribute with: • New techniques for sampling, compressing and summarizing network mobility information in real- • time. Evaluate the performance improvements of knowing mobility and traffic patterns in UDNs, as far as • energy-efficiency is concerned. Develop deterministic mean-field approximations for predicting the performance in large UDNs. •
