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.

Tracking Events in Social Media

Luchen Tan
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.

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.

Product Matching to Determine the Energy Efficiency of Used Cars Available at Internet Marketplaces

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.
