Using Stylistic Features for Social Power Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
Social Network Analysis traditionally examines the graph of a communications network to identify key individuals based on the pattern of their interactions, but there is a limit to the level of detail which can be inferred from metadata alone. Message content is a richer source of data, and can provide an indication of the relationship between a pair of communicants. An individual’s language use will vary depending on their relationship to the addressee, and this paper investigates a set of stylistic features which may be used to predict the nature of a relationship within an organizational hierarchy. Experiments are conducted on the Enron corpus for the sake of comparison with earlier results, and demonstrate successful classification of upspeak vs. downspeak using a small feature set.

Modeling of Stylistic Variation in Social Media with Stretchy Patterns
In this paper we describe a novel feature discovery technique that can be used to model stylistic variation in sociolects. While structural features offer much in terms of expressive power over simpler features used more frequently in machine learning approaches to modeling linguistic variation, they frequently come at an excessive cost in terms of feature space size expansion. We propose a nov...
متن کاملExploring Stylistic Variation with Age and Income on Twitter
Writing style allows NLP tools to adjust to the traits of an author. In this paper, we explore the relation between stylistic and syntactic features and authors’ age and income. We confirm our hypothesis that for numerous feature types writing style is predictive of income even beyond age. We analyze the predictive power of writing style features in a regression task on two data sets of around ...
متن کاملIdentifying Linguistic Correlates of Power
Previous work on social power modelling from linguistic cues has been limited by the range of available data. We introduce a new corpus of dialogues, elicited in a controlled experimental setting where participant roles were manipulated to generate a perceived difference in social power. Initial results demonstrate successful differentiation of upwards, downwards, and level communications, usin...

Aptness, defined as how the vehicle is well able to cover the salient features of the tenor (e.g., oil is like liquid gold vs. a train is like a worm), is claimed to be an important factor in the preference for metaphors over similes, or vice versa. This study was an attempt to test for the supposed correlation between the perceived degree of aptness and a priori stylistic preference for metaph...

The rapid growth of mobile phone technology and its combination with various technologies like GPS has added location context to social networks and has led to the formation of location-based social networks. In social networking sites, recommender systems are used to recommend points of interest (POIs) to users. Traditional recommender systems, such as film and book recommendations, have a lon...
