Towards Accurate Event Detection in Social Media: A Weakly Supervised Approach for Learning Implicit Event Indicators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate event detection in social media is very challenging because user generated contents are extremely noisy and sparse in content. Event indicators are generally words or phrases that act as a trigger that help us understand the semantics of the context they occur in. We present a weakly supervised approach that relies on using a single strong event indicator phrase as a seed to acquire a variety of additional event cues. We propose to leverage various types of implicit event indicators, such as props, actors and precursor events, to achieve precise event detection. We experimented with civil unrest events and show that the automatically learnt event indicators are effective in identifying specific types of events.

Supervised Clustering of Social Media Streams
In this paper we present our approach for the Social Event Detection Task 1 of the MediaEval 2013. We address the problem of event detection and clustering by learning a distance measure between two images in a supervised way. Then, we apply a variant of the Quality Threshold clustering to detect events and assign the images accordingly. We can show that the performance measures do not decrease...
متن کاملRecognizing Explicit and Implicit Hate Speech Using a Weakly Supervised Two-path Bootstrapping Approach
In the wake of a polarizing election, social media is laden with hateful content. To address various limitations of supervised hate speech classification methods including corpus bias and huge cost of annotation, we propose a weakly supervised twopath bootstrapping approach for an online hate speech detection model leveraging large-scale unlabeled data. This system significantly outperforms hat...

This study aimed to develop a computational model for recognition of emotion in Persian text as a supervised machine learning problem. We considered Pluthchik emotion model as supervised learning criteria and Support Vector Machine (SVM) as baseline classifier. We also used NRC lexicon and contextual features as training data and components of the model. One hundred selected texts including pol...

متن کاملFinding Structure in Figurative Language: Metaphor Detection with Topic-based Frames
In this paper, we present a novel and highly effective method for induction and application of metaphor frame templates as a step toward detecting metaphor in extended discourse. We infer implicit facets of a given metaphor frame using a semisupervised bootstrapping approach on an unlabeled corpus. Our model applies this frame facet information to metaphor detection, and achieves the state-of-t...
