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

Emotion Detection From Tweets Using a BERT and SVM Ensemble Model
Ionut Albu,Stelian Spînu +1 more
TL;DR: A novel ensemble model is proposed by combining the two BERT and SVM models for emotion recognition by achieving a state-of-the-art accuracy of 0.91 on emotion recognition in tweets.
Dissertation
Tracking Events in Social Media
TL;DR: This thesis starts with a lexical comparison between carefully edited prose and social media posts, providing an improved understanding of word usage within social media, and develops a family of rank similarity metrics based on rank similarity measures applied to compare rankings generated by various experiments.

Microblog topic identification using Linked Open Data.
Ahmet Yildirim,Suzan Uskudarli +1 more
TL;DR: The proposed approach for identifying machine-interpretable topics of collective interest is defined as a set of related elements that are associated by having posted in the same contexts, and an ontology specified according to the W3C recommended standards is introduced.

TL;DR: This work evaluates some similarity measures for string matching and applies a complete product matching methodology to the retail market of used cars, using a reference or master list of items and information about a wide variety of used car offers.
Location Classification Based on Tweets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore two approaches to the problem: (a) a pipeline approach, where each post is first classified, and then the location associated with the set of posts is inferred from the individual post labels; and (b) a joint approach where the individual posts are simultaneously processed to yield the desired location type.

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.
