JU_NLP at SemEval-2016 Task 6: Detecting Stance in Tweets using Support Vector Machines
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the system submitted to the SemEval-2016 for detecting stance in tweets (Task 6, Subtask A). One of the main goals of stance detection is to automatically determine the stance of a tweet towards a specific target as ‘FAVOR’, ‘AGAINST’, or ‘NONE’. We developed a supervised system using Support Vector Machines to identify the stance by analyzing various lexical and semantic features. The average F1 score achieved by our system is 60.60.

This paper describes our submissions to Task 6, i.e., Detecting Stance in Tweets, in SemEval 2016, which aims at detecting the stance of tweets towards given target. There are three stance labels: Favor (directly or indirectly by supporting given target), Against (directly or indirectly by opposing or criticizing given target), and None (none of the above). To address this task, we present a tw...

This paper describes our approach for the Detecting Stance in Tweets task (SemEval-2016 Task 6). We utilized recent advances in short text categorization using deep learning to create word-level and character-level models. The choice between word-level and characterlevel models in each particular case was informed through validation performance. Our final system is a combination of classifiers ...

This paper describe a weakly supervised solution for detecting stance in tweets, submitted to the SemEval 2016 Stance Task. Our approach is based on the premise that stance can be exposed as positive or negative opinions, although not necessarily about the stance target itself. Our system receives as input ngrams representing opinion targets and common terms used to denote stance (e.g. hashtags...

This paper describes an approach to automatically detect stance in tweets by building a supervised system combining shallow features and pre-trained word vectors as word representation. The word vectors were obtained from several collections of large corpora using GloVe, an unsupervised learning algorithm. We created feature vectors by selecting the word vectors relevant to the data and summing...

Stance classification aims to identify, for a particular issue under discussion, whether the speaker or author of a conversational turn has Pro (Favor) or Con (Against) stance on the issue. Detecting stance in tweets is a new task proposed for SemEval-2016 Task6, involving predicting stance for a dataset of tweets on the topics of abortion, atheism, climate change, feminism and Hillary Clinton....
