Каковы лингвистические паттерны, которым следуют пользователи социальных сетей, чтобы высказывать иронию в совсем коротких фразах? Лингвистические средства - такие как неоднозначность, непоследовательность, неожиданность эмоциональный контекст, гораздо более широкий, чем просто негативная или позитивная тональность - играют очень важную роль триггеров иронии. В иронических текстах буквальный смысл сообщения как правило отрицается, но формальные маркеры отрицания отсутствуют. Это делает задачу определения иронии очень сложной. В своем выступлении я опишу как ирония выражается в социальных сетях (Twitter, Amazon, Facebook и др.) и каково современное положение дел в автоматическом определении иронии. Определение иронии очень важно для таких задач анализа текста как определение тональности сообщения, извлечение мнений, или анализ репутаций, и существует определенный интерес исследовательского сообщества к этой теме. На конференции SemEval 2015 будет организована задача-соревнование по определению тональности фигуративного языка в Твиттере (Sentiment Analysis of Figurative Language in Twitter, http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task11/). В конце я коснусь еще более сложной проблемы различения иронии, сатиры и сарказма, например: Если вам тяжело смеяться над собой, я буду счастлив сделать это за вас.
Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony that is intended to express contempt or ridicule. Huge amounts of text on internet, especially tweets, social networks, blogs etc. are sarcastic in nature. Persons and organizations need to know what people think and write about them in the electronic media. Scale warrants automation of such tasks.
This talk will present our multi-faceted and long-standing work on sarcasm detection, that hinges on the central notion of INCONGRUITY. A sentence like "I love being ignored" is sarcastic, because it has incongruity in it- "love" is a positive sentiment word, while "ignore" is negative. We exploit incongruity and many other features- traditional and novel- to detect sarcasm automatically. A new line of investigation by us is the use of eye-tracking features for sarcasm detection: "Eyes give away what words do not tell". Many of our systems based on rich set of features and techniques including SVM, Deep Learning etc. report accuracies better than existing values.
The talk is based on work that has been reported frequently in ACL, EMNLP, AAAI and such .

Feature Specific Sentiment Analysis for Product Reviews, Subhabrata Mukherjee and Pushpak Bhattacharyya, In Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Intelligence (CICLING 2012), New Delhi, India, March, 2012 (http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~pb/papers/cicling12-feature-specific-sa.pdf)
This document summarizes two presentations about community detection in social media networks. The first presentation discusses using edge content, like image tags, to help identify communities in networks. The second focuses on leveraging interaction intensities on Twitter to detect communities that form around certain events over time. Both aim to improve on traditional methods that only consider network structure.
Community detection from a computational social science perspectiveDavide Bennato
This is the talk I gave at the Lipari Summer School on Computational Social Science, 2014. Which are the sociological strategies to detect communities in social media? How we can define a community form a computational social science point of view?
Sarcasm is a peculiar form of sentiment expression, where the surface sentiment differs from the implied sentiment. The detection of sarcasm in social media platforms has been applied in the past mainly to textual utterances where lexical indicators (such as interjections and intensifiers), linguistic markers, and contextual information (such as user profiles, or past conversations) were used to detect the sar- castic tone. However, modern social media platforms allow to create multimodal messages where audiovisual content is integrated with the text, making the analysis of a mode in isolation partial.
We first study the relationship between the textual and visual aspects in multimodal posts from three major social media platforms, i.e., Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter, and we run a crowdsourcing task to quantify the extent to which images are perceived as necessary by human annotators.
Moreover, we propose two different computational frameworks to detect sarcasm that integrate the textual and visual modalities. Results show the positive effect of combining modalities for the detection of sarcasm across platforms and methods.
The document discusses techniques for analyzing sentiment and opinions in consumer reviews. It begins by introducing sentiment classification of reviews as positive or negative. It then discusses several approaches to sentiment classification including unsupervised methods using pointwise mutual information and supervised methods using machine learning techniques. The document also discusses analyzing reviews at the sentence level to extract product features that are commented on and determine if the comments are positive or negative. It proposes techniques for feature extraction, feature refinement, identifying sentiment orientation, and generating a feature-based summary. Finally, it discusses related work on other sentiment analysis and opinion mining tasks.
Summarization and opinion detection in product reviewspapanaboinasuman
This document describes a project to build a system that provides structured summaries of product reviews by extracting product features and associated opinions. It outlines the end-to-end architecture of the system, including modules for crawling reviews, preprocessing text, extracting and analyzing features and opinions, and providing a feature-based summary. An evaluation of the system shows a precision of 75% and recall of 90% for correctly identifying features and opinions.
Sarcasm & Thwarting in Sentiment Analysis [IIT-Bombay]Sagar Ahire
1) The document discusses various linguistic phenomena including irony, sarcasm, and thwarting. It presents algorithms for detecting sarcasm and thwarting in text.
2) For sarcasm detection, a semi-supervised algorithm uses pattern-based and punctuation-based features to classify sentences, achieving up to 81% accuracy.
3) Thwarting detection compares sentiment across levels of a domain ontology, using either rule-based or machine learning approaches, with the latter approach achieving up to 81% accuracy.

Community Detection in Social Networks: A Brief OverviewSatyaki Sikdar
The document provides an overview of community detection in social networks. It discusses that networks are found everywhere where there are interactions between actors. It then motivates the importance of detecting communities by explaining that communities are groups of nodes that likely share properties and roles. Detecting communities has applications like improving recommendation systems and parallel computing. It also justifies the existence of communities in real networks using the concept of homophily where similar actors tend to connect. The document then discusses different approaches to detecting communities including Girvan-Newman algorithm based on edge betweenness and Louvain method which uses greedy modularity optimization.
The big data phenomenon has confirmed the achievement of data access transformation. Sentiment analysis (SA) is one of the most exploited area and used for profit-making purpose through business intelligence applications. This paper reviews the trends in SA and relates the growth in the area with the big data era.
This document discusses community detection in social media and online networks. It defines communities as groups of densely interconnected nodes in a graph. It outlines various algorithms for detecting communities, including graph partitioning, k-clique detection, core decomposition, divisive algorithms based on edge centrality, and modularity maximization approaches. It also discusses local community detection methods and evaluation of community detection results.

Use Your Words: Content Strategy to Influence BehaviorLiz Danzico
What if we were truly open to the language in our cities, our neighborhoods, our city blocks? What is our environment telling us to do?
In this workshop, we’ll let the language of the city guide us to explore how words, specifically the words of our immediate contexts, shape our behavior. By being open to the possibilities, we’ll explore how language influences both the micro and macro actions we take. We’ll go on expeditions in the morning—studying street signs to doorways to receipts—comparing patterns in the language maps we’ll construct. In the afternoon, we’ll look at what these patterns suggest for the products and services we design.
You’ll walk away having learned how words influence behavior, how products and services have used language for behavior change, and having tools for thinking about language and behavior change in the work you do.
Spend the day letting words use you, so you can go back to work to use them with renewed wisdom.

The (non)sense of gender-free in conversational AI - Women in voice Netherlan...Marion Mulder
(Why) should technology have a gender?
Why are all voice devices female? Is that actually a bad thing? And what does this do to/for how we perceive women and gender equality? Is this making an improving for all of us or should we be concerned about something?
On 20 January I gave a presentation at the Women in Voice Netherlands (online) meetup about #genderfreetech, how I see it and what I've learned from both being in tech and diversity & inclusion for years as well as insights I got from ready a series of really good books on this subject.
Here you find my presentation addressing the following topics:
* What do I mean by Gender-Free; I’ll take you along on my journey of exploration
* Does everything need to be gender-neutral? Spoiler alert: Hell NO!
* That ‘thing’ about gender; what’s going on? why is that? Symptoms & underlying causes. In short: Bias and by Binary Thinking
* Opportunities & Possible Solutions
Want to know more about it, or want to create positive change? Feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to present, give workshops or work with you on co-creating great technology solutions that benefit everyone.

The document discusses flashbulb memories, which are vivid and detailed memories of significant events. Flashbulb memories can last a lifetime and include details about where one was and how they felt upon learning significant news. Both positive and negative events can form flashbulb memories. A study discussed found that people were equally able to recall the deaths of both Michael Jackson and Osama Bin Laden in detail, showing that neither positive nor negative flashbulb memories are more prevalent. The formation and accuracy of flashbulb memories over time is debated, as elements may fade or become distorted with the passage of years.

Лексико-семантические ресурсы играют ключевую роль в автоматической обработке текста. В последние годы ресурсы, создаваемые сообществом, такие как Википедия и Wiktionary, становятся привлекательной альтернативой для классических ресурсов, создаваемых экспертами, таких как WordNet, особенно для языков для которых мало ресурсов. Недавние крупномасштабные проекты, например YAGO, BabelNet, UBY, нацелены на комбинирование множества лексикосемантических ресурсов в рамках одной системы. В своем докладе я представлю выравнивание смыслов слов как задачу, критически важную для комбинирования лексико-семантических ресурсов и взаимодополняющего использования их сильных сторон. В задаче выравнивания смыслов слов, смысл термина (например, Java как язык программирования) должен быть связан с синонимичными значениями во множестве ресурсов и отделен от других значений того же слова (например, Java, как остров). В докладе будут рассмотрены два подхода к решению описанной задачи: основанный на близости текстов и основанный на графах, также их оценка на парах лексико-семантических ресурсов с различными свойствами. В конце будут приведены примеры использования выровненных лексикосемантических ресурсов в автоматической бработке текста.

Данные подход был применен для повышения вероятности ответа на вопросы из категорий COMMON BONDS и MISSING LINK.
Анна Власова, Кирилл Зоркий "Как отличить в диалоге робота от человека"AINL Conferences
Диалог, который ведет автоматический виртуальный собеседник, имеет определенные структурные отличия от диалога, которые ведет человек. Эти отличия проявляются
в уровне и способе понимания роботом реплики пользователя
в характере, стилистике и других особенностях формирования ответа робота
в общей схеме и глубине всего диалога
Интересно проанализировать такие отличия в зависимости от назначения и приоритетной тематики виртуального собеседника. Разработчики роботов закладывают разные диалоговое поведение в собеседников разных типов. Роботы будут существенно отличаться
в зависимости от задачи общения: развлечение/консультация
в зависимости от цели, поставленной разработчиками: максимально скрыть, что это робот/не скрывать/наоборот, сакцентировать внимание пользователя на "автоматическом" характере общения
в зависимости от декларируемой узости тематики общения
Подробнее о разнице в моделях диалога для разных типов роботов-собеседников, их восприятии человеком и прикладной эффективности той или иной модели мы расскажем в докладе.
Антон Колонин "О создании программных агентов для "интернета вещей"AINL Conferences
Конвергенция таких современных IT-трендов как "интернет вещей" (internet of things), "глобальная смысловая сеть" (semantic web, "things instead of strings") и робототехника приводит к созданию нового поколения программных агентов. Эти агенты будут способны автономно функционировать в глобальной сети, соединяющей как людей, так и устройства самого разного рода. Им нужно будет обладать способностями адаптивного интеллекта, позволяющими производить обучение агентов применительно к конкретным задачам пользователей в различных прикладных областях, оперируя со смысловыми сетями ("графами знаний") – как загружаемыми пользователями-людьми и другими агентами-корреспондентами, так и достраиваемыми в ходе взаимодействия с окружающем миром. В рамках проекта Aigents, создается среда интеллектуальных агентов для поиска информации в интернете. Каждый агент включает семантическую базу данных, развитую систему управления онтологиями, возможности интеллектуальной адаптации, а также - языковый интерфейс, позволяющий агентам взаимодействовать как друг с другом, так и с пользователями.

В своем выступлении я опишу наш текущий проект в Interaction Lab, на факультете математики и компьютерных наук университета Херриот-Ватт, Шотландия. Наше исследование посвящено разработке голосовой интерактивной системы, которая может эффективно и адаптивно взаимодействовать с людьми. Такие системы часто используют обучение с подкреплением (Reinforcement Learning), вычислительную модель, которая методом проб и ошибок выучивает сложные модели поведения. Недостатком таких систем является ограниченная масштабируемость, т.е. трудности при работе с большим пространством возможностей и паралелльными задачами. Я опишу три возможных решения этой проблемы: использование предыдущих знаний, повторное использование выученных стратегий и гибкое взаимодействие. Все три подхода будут проиллюстрированы действующими системами, которые тестировались на реальных пользователях. В конце я обсужу возможные направления будущей работы, нацеленной на использование систем Reinforcement Learning в реальных (неэкспериментальных) системах.

This document summarizes a presentation on aligning different lexical-semantic resources like Wiktionary and WordNet. The alignment process involves two main steps: 1) extracting candidate sense pairs from the resources and 2) disambiguating the candidates using features like the bag-of-words representation of senses and semantic relatedness measures. Evaluation shows the alignment approach significantly outperforms baselines and increases coverage of senses across parts of speech and domains by combining the two resources. The aligned resource also provides richer representations through combined information from both original resources.

В докладе описан подход, решающий задачу классификации коротких текстов на основании семантического сопоставления с обучающими примерами.
Раскрыты такие аспекты, как:
Максимальный упор на сравнение по смыслу (против известных статистических методов)
Устойчивость к разнообразию формулировок, использованию синонимов
Построение модели на малом количестве данных
Для решения этих задач создан классификатор на основе векторного представления слов. Обучающие тексты отображаются в многомерное пространство в виде наборов точек. Для анализируемого текста класс определяется соотношениями близостей между представлением текста и обучающих примеров. Делается допущение об условной независимости слов в фразе. Подход применим в любых задачах, где необходимо по смыслу классифицировать фразы диалога или короткие тексты.
Тестирование проводилось интерактивном стенде для Yac/m. Порядка 70 обучающих примеров, 4 класса. Получена accuracy порядка 250%, проверка методом 5 fold cross validation.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Verbal irony use in personal blogs
29.
71 regular bloggers (24 male and 47 female) from North America, UK, Australia and New Zeeland.
The utterance was only counted as ironic if it was clear that a literal interpretation was not intended.
Hyperbole was the ironic form most frequently used by bloggers (for instance wrt sarcasm)
Inter-annotator agreement for identifying that an utterance was ironic: 89.57% (on the 25% of the blogs, selected randomly)
Inter-annotator agreement on the category: 98.36%
30. #Irony or #Sarcasm A quantitative and qualitative study based on Twitter

31. Irony & Sarcasm
Identify similarities and distinctions
Quantitative Sentiment Analysis
Qualitative content analysis
Special way of language creativity
Interaction between cognition
and language
Speaker intention plays an important role
Irony is an umbrella term that covers Sarcasm
32.
Corpus: 500 tweets #irony & 500 tweets #sarcasm
Tagging: crowdsourcing (participants are asked to judge how good the example is to be ironic/sarcastic).
They used a lexicon of 2600 positive words and 4783 negative words: difference between positive and negative words in a tweet is the sentiment score of the tweet.
Interest to understand how speakers use sentiment words in these types of language creativity.
Sarcastic tweets use more positive words but ironic tweets use more neutral
The positive words used in tweets seems to represent the aggressive intention

Sarcastic tweets often express a positive sentiment in reference to a negative situation
The goal is to identify sarcasm that arises from the contrast between a positive sentiment referring to a negative situation
Identify stereotypically negative “situations” (unenjoyable or undesirable)
#sarcasm reveals the intended sarcasm, but we do not always have the benefit of an explicit sarcasm label
35. Positive sentiment word with a negative activity or state
Oh how I love being ignored #sarcasm
Absolutely adore it when my bus is late #sarcasm
36. Authors
Focus on positive sentiments that are expressed as a verb phrase or as a predicative expression and negative activities or states that can be complement to a verb phrase.
Assume sarcasm probably arises from positive/negative contrast and exploit syntactic structure to extract phrases that are likely to have contrasting polarity
Harvest the n-grams that follow the word “love” as negative situation candidates, then selected the best of them using a scoring metric and add them to a list of negative situation phrases.
37.
Collected 1,600 tweets with a sarcasm hashtag (#sarcasm or #sarcastic) and 1,600 without this hashtags.
Created a gold standard data set of manually annotated tweets (sarcasm hashtags were removed)
They perform a set of experiments, one of which consist in label a tweet as sarcastic if contains a positive sentiment phrase in close proximity to a negative situation phrase, both extracted from their bootstrapping algorithm. Achieves a precision of 70%
Contrasting a positive sentiment with a negative situation seems to be a key element of sarcasm.

39. Irony
Model uses seven groups of features to represent each tweet:
*Frequency: gap between rare and common words
*Written-spoken: written-spoken style uses
*Intensity: intensity of adverbs and adjectives
Structure: length, punctuation, emoticons
Sentiments: gap between positive and negative terms
Synonyms: common vs. rare synonyms use
Ambiguity: measure of possible ambiguity
Dataset used: (Reyes et al., 2013)

The best results are obtained when distinguished Sarcasm from Newspaper tweets (F1: 0.97)
Difficulty in distinguishing sarcastic tweets from ironic ones (F1 : 0.62)
Relevant features to detect sarcasm against irony are two:
Use of adverbs: sarcasm uses less adverbs but more intense
Sentiment scores: sarcastic tweet are denoted by more positive sentiments than irony

Aim: to contribute to a deeper understanding of the linguistic properties of irony and sarcasm as linguistic phenomena and their corpus based evaluation and verification.
Authors analyze the impact of a number of features which have been proposed in previous research on irony detection
Automatic classification of a product review corpus from Amazon, by Filatova (Irony and sarcasm: Corpus generation and analysis using crowdsourcing, LREC 2012)
Irony detection as a supervised classification problem
46. Features
Imbalance between the overall polarity of words in the review and the star-rating
Hyperbole indicates the occurrence of a sequence of three positive or negative words in a row
Quotes indicates that up to two consecutive adjectives or nouns in quotation marks have a positive or negative polarity
Pos/Neg & Punctuation span of up to four words contains at least one positive(negative) but no negative (positive) word and ends with at least two exclamation marks
Pos/Neg & Ellipsis indicates that such a positive or negative span ends with an ellipsis (“…”)
Emoticon indicates the occurrence of an emoticon
Punctuation conveys the presence of an ellipsis as well as multiple question or exclamation marks or a combination of the latter two
Interjection indicates the occurrence of terms like “wow” and “huh”
Laughter measures onomatopoeia as well as acronyms of grin or laughter
Bag of words
47.
Classifiers: SMV, Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree and Random Forest Classifier
Corpus: 1254 Amazon Reviews, 437 ironic utterances.
Baselines: Star-rating relies only on the number of stars assigned in the review as feature. Bag-of-words exploits only the unigrams in the text as features, sentiment word count, All (all features)
Performed experiments using different feature set combinations for the different classifiers.
The best result is achieved by using the star-rating together with bag-of-words and all features with a logistic regression approach (F1: 0.74)

The evaluative palette of verbal irony
49. Irony
Negative
Most frequent and common type of verbal irony
Typical examples of sarcasm where an apparently positive comment expresses a negative criticism or judgment of a person, a thing or a situation.
Positive
Positive evaluation of a given person, thing or situation.
Frequently found in family discourse
Neutral
No intention of criticizing or praising any participant, thing, or situation
The utterance may include some kind or overt evaluation (very distant from either a positive or a critical negative position).
50. Irony
Negative
After Peter betrays his friend Tom, Tom says to Peter:
You’re certainly my best friend ever!
Tom is using negative irony in order to express his very negative evaluation of the way in which Peter has behaved.
Positive
Daniel comes back home from school and shows his father his report-card, which is full of As, to which his father reacts in the following manner:
Father: Daniel, I’m really worried; your grades are terrible! (with blank face)
Daniel: (giggles) Thank you, Dad
The father is trying to express his pride for his son’s success, an ironic act that is clearly understood by Daniel, as can be deduced from hi answer and reaction.
Neutral
From Blaise Pascal Letter XVI.
The letter is longer than usual because
I didn’t have the time to make it shorter
Seems to be not intention of criticizing or praising any participant, thing, or situation. Pascal was using fine irony in order to show wittiness, and therefore be funny.
51.
Purpose: to see if the native speakers of each of the 2 languages distinguished between the ironic and non-ironic utterances, as well as to verify whether there was any significant difference in the identification of irony’s polarity.
Designed a questionnaire (both in English and Spanish) based on 20 situations. Ten of these situations contained some ironic utterances that could be related to a positive, a negative or a neutral evaluative stance, and the other ten were used as distractors.
38 native speakers of English and 56 of Spanish
Participant would have to classify each of the 20 situations according to the labels ironic/sarcastic, polite/impolite, aggressive/not aggressive, humorous/non-humorous
52.
Conclude that speakers can identify reliably ironical and non ironical utterances
Results reveal that there seems to be no difference between the identification of negative irony and that positive and/or neutral irony, which not only supports authors’ hypothesis in favor of the existence of different “evaluative values” in ironic speech acts, but in fact supports a much stronger claim namely that positive and neutral irony are not significantly harder to identify than negative irony

54.
Report the first study of the issues involved with achieving high reliability labels for sarcasm in online dialogue
Authors used Internet Argument Corpus (IAC), a large corpus of online social and political dialogues. The initial IAC annotation involved 10,003 Quote-Response (Q-R) pairs where Mechanical Turkers were shown seven Q-R pairs and asked to judge whether the response was sarcastic or not.
Turkers were not given additional definitions of the meaning of sarcasm
A subset of 25 new annotations was used to compare the different reliability measures on gold standard data in terms of accuracy as a function of the number of Turker annotations.
55. Who cares about sarcastic tweets? Investigating the impact of sarcasm on sentiment analysis

Language Resources and Evaluation, LREC 2014
56.
Consider in particular the effect of sentiment and sarcasm contained in hashtags, and have developed a hashtag tokenizer for GATE, so that sentiment and sarcasm found within hashtags can be detected more easily
Tweets labeled with the hashtag #irony typically do not refer to verbal irony, but to situational irony. Collected a corpus of 257 tweets containing the hashtag #irony, and found that only 2 tweets contained clear instances of verbal irony, about 25% involved clear situational irony, while about 75% referred to extra-contextual information, so that the meaning was not clear.

62. Inter-annotator agreement: irony
‣
Fleiss Kappa: It allows multiple annotators (three in our case) and binary variables (ironic / non-ironic)
‣
We obtained a value of 0.0989 -> very low index of agreement
‣
Irony is quite subjective and depends on annotators, their moods, linguistic and cultural context: we did not provide a common definition for irony
‣
Contextual information was not provided, only individual comments
‣
Males tended to be more ironic than females (in this corpus)
‣
The category politics is the one with more negative emotions and irony (in Spain? Difficult to believe it… #irony)
