  • Collection and Analysis of a Longitudinal Twitter Sentiment Dataset
    The emojification of sentiment on social media: Collection and analysis of a longitudinal Twitter sentiment dataset Wenjie Yin, Rabab Alkhalifa, Arkaitz Zubiaga Queen Mary University of London, UK {w.yin,r.a.a.alkhalifa,a.zubiaga}@qmul.ac.uk Abstract Social media, as a means for computer-mediated communication, has been extensively used to study the sentiment expressed by users around events or topics. There is however a gap in the longitudinal study of how sentiment evolved in social media over the years. To fill this gap, we develop TM-Senti, a new large-scale, distantly su- pervised Twitter sentiment dataset with over 184 million tweets and covering a time period of over seven years. We describe and assess our methodology to put together a large-scale, emoticon- and emoji-based labelled sentiment analysis dataset, along with an analysis of the re- sulting dataset. Our analysis highlights interesting temporal changes, among others in the increasing use of emojis over emoticons. We pub- licly release the dataset for further research in tasks including sentiment analysis and text classification of tweets. The dataset can be fully rehy- drated including tweet metadata and without missing tweets thanks to the archive of tweets publicly available on the Internet Archive, which the dataset is based on. 1 Introduction Social media research (Ngai, Tao, & Moon, 2015) and sentiment analysis (Poria, Hazarika, Majumder, & Mihalcea, 2020) have gained popularity in the last decade, both separately and jointly. Sentiment analysis of social media content is a fertile research area in a wide variety of fields including natural language processing (Wilson, Wiebe, & Hoffmann, 2005), computa- tional social science (Vydiswaran et al., 2018), information science (Zimbra, Ghiassi, & Lee, 2016) and beyond.

  • An Empirical Study of Verbal Irony; Identification, Interpretation, and Its Role in Turn-Taking Discourse
    AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF VERBAL IRONY; IDENTIFICATION, INTERPRETATION, AND ITS ROLE IN TURN-TAKING DISCOURSE By DEBANJAN GHOSH A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information and Library Studies written under the direction of Smaranda Muresan, Ph.D. and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION An Empirical Study of Verbal Irony; Identification, Interpretation, and its Role in Turn-taking Discourse By DEBANJAN GHOSH Dissertation Director: Smaranda Muresan, Ph.D. Human communication often involves the use of figurative language, such as verbal irony or sarcasm, where the speakers usually mean the opposite of what they say. In this dissertation, I address three problems regarding verbal irony: automatic identifica- tion of verbal irony and its characteristics from social media platforms, interpretation of verbal irony, and examining the role of verbal irony in identifying dis(agreement) relations in discussion forums. To automatically detect verbal irony I propose compu- tational models that are based on theoretical underpinnings of irony. I first reframe the question of irony identification as a word-sense disambiguation problem to understand how particular target words are used in the literal or figurative sense. Next, I thoroughly analyze two characteristics of irony; irony markers, and irony factors. I propose em- pirical models to identify irony, irrespective of contextual knowledge as well as with conversation context. I also analyze the context to understand what triggers an ironic reply and perform user studies to explain the machine learning model predictions.

  • Face with One Eyebrow Raised
    Proposal to Add Emoji: Face With One Eyebrow Raised Maximilian Merz, [email protected] November 5, 2015 Abstract Currently, there is no emoji encoded in Unicode that shows a face with one raised eyebrow. A raised eyebrow is a widely used facial expression and equally widely recognized as conveying a variety of meanings, centered around scepticism, surprise, disagreement, and being impressed. This proposal presents evidence of high usage of emoticons expressing similar mimics, suggesting a high expected usage level for the suggested emoji. An emoji with the name FACE WITH ONE EYEBROW RAISED is proposed to be included in the Unicode standard. 1 Introduction The author proposes the encoding of a new emoji, depicting a face with one eyebrow raised. A single raised eyebrow is a common form of facial expression. If accompanied by an \neutral mouth" (neither smiling nor frowning), it can be interpreted as a sign of scepticism, disbelief, or disapproval, as a sign of surprise or wonder, or as a silent greeting. Currently, there is no emoji to express these feelings, centering around \mild surprise" and no way to convey this particular facial expression. The proposed emoji would close this \gap of expression". The author expects high usage if this emoji should be encoded. (a) Black and White (b) Colored Figure 1: Image of the Proposed Emoji. Designed by Maximilian Merz and placed into the Public Domain. 1 Proposal to Add Emoji: Face With One Eyebrow Raised Maximilian Merz 2 Discussion of Emoji Selection Factors 2.1 Factors for Inclusion 2.1.1 Compatibility In Table 2, two existing emojis that match the proposed one are presented.

    International Journal of Computing and Digital Systems ISSN (2210-142X) Int. J. Com. Dig. Sys. 6, No.4 (July-2017) http://dx.doi.org/10.12785/ijcds/0600402 Sentiment Analysis of Social Sensors for Local Services Improvement Olivera Kotevska1 and Ahmed Lbath2 1,2 University of Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, LIG, F-38000, Grenoble, France Received 2 Dec. 2016, Revised 3 Jun. 2017, Accepted 15 Jun. 2017, Published 1 July 2017 Abstract: Today, there is an enormous impact on a generation of data in everyday life due to microblogging sites like Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking websites. The valuable data that is broadcast through microblogging can provide useful information to different situations if captured and analyzed properly promptly. In the case of Smart City, automatically identifying event types using Twitter messages as a data source can contribute to situation awareness about the city, and it also brings out much useful information related to it for people who are interested. The focus of this work is an automatic categorization of microblogging data from the certain location, as well as identify the sentiment level at each of the categories to provide a better understanding of public needs and concerns. As the processing of Twitter messages is a challenging task, we propose an algorithm to preprocess the Twitter messages automatically. For the experiment, we used Twitter messages for sixteen different event types from one geo- location. We proposed an algorithm to preprocess the Twitter messages, and Random Forest classifier automatically categorize these tweets into predefined event types. Therefore, applying sentiment analysis to tweets related to these categories allows if people are talking in negative or positive context about it, thus providing valuable information for timely decision making for recommending local service.
