TLDR
A critical review of the NLP community's response to the landscape of bad language is offered, and a quantitative analysis of the lexical diversity of social media text, and its relationship to other corpora is presented.Abstract:
The rise of social media has brought computational linguistics in ever-closer contact with bad language: text that defies our expectations about vocabulary, spelling, and syntax. This paper surveys the landscape of bad language, and offers a critical review of the NLP community’s response, which has largely followed two paths: normalization and domain adaptation. Each approach is evaluated in the context of theoretical and empirical work on computer-mediated communication. In addition, the paper presents a quantitative analysis of the lexical diversity of social media text, and its relationship to other corpora.read more

When silver glitters more than gold: Bootstrapping an Italian part-of-speech tagger for Twitter
Barbara Plank,Malvina Nissim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a part-of-speech tagger was used to tag Italian Twitter data, in the context of the Evalita 2016 PoSTWITA shared task, and they showed that training the tagger on native Twitter data enriched with little amounts of specifically selected gold data and additional silver-labelled data scraped from Facebook yields better results than using large amounts of manually annotated data from a mix of genres.

Efficient Named Entity Annotation through Pre-empting
Leon Derczynski,Kalina Bontcheva +1 more
TL;DR: A technique for reducing the amount of entity-less text examined by annotators, which is called "preempting", is demonstrated and evaluated in a crowdsourcing scenario, where it provides downstream performance improvements for the same size corpus.

Ontology Driven Disease Incidence Detection on Twitter
TL;DR: This work employs an ontology of disease related concepts and uses it to obtain a conceptual representation of tweets and shows that word vectors can be learned directly from the authors' concepts to achieve even better results.

Earthquake shakes Twitter users: real-time event detection by social sensors
TL;DR: This paper investigates the real-time interaction of events such as earthquakes in Twitter and proposes an algorithm to monitor tweets and to detect a target event and produces a probabilistic spatiotemporal model for the target event that can find the center and the trajectory of the event location.

Feature-rich part-of-speech tagging with a cyclic dependency network
TL;DR: A new part-of-speech tagger is presented that demonstrates the following ideas: explicit use of both preceding and following tag contexts via a dependency network representation, broad use of lexical features, and effective use of priors in conditional loglinear models.

Incorporating Non-local Information into Information Extraction Systems by Gibbs Sampling
TL;DR: By using simulated annealing in place of Viterbi decoding in sequence models such as HMMs, CMMs, and CRFs, it is possible to incorporate non-local structure while preserving tractable inference.
