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

Studying Positive Speech on Twitter
TL;DR: Through semi-manual opinion mining, it was found that positive speech accounted for < 1% of the data, and in fully automated studies, two approaches were tested: unsupervised statistical analysis, and supervised text classification based on distributed word representation.
Emotion centered design: Affect, think, and act
TL;DR: Results show that learning classifiers can detect user emotional states in users’ present contexts and are applicable to a wide variety of different human-computer interaction fields, including mobile and wearable computing, contextual computing, the Internet of things, affective computing, personal computing, etc.

Curating Social Media Data
TL;DR: A data curation pipeline, namely CrowdCorrect, is proposed to enable analysts cleansing and curating social data and preparing it for reliable analytics, and provides an automatic feature extraction from a corpus of social media data using existing in-house tools.

Use of semantic knowledge base for enhancement of coherence of code-mixed topic-based aspect clusters
TL;DR: It is shown that with the help of semantic knowledge from multilingual external knowledge base, cmkLDA learns coherent topic-based aspects across languages and improves topic interpretibility and topic distinctiveness better than the baseline models.

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.
