TakeLab at SemEval-2017 Task 6: #RankingHumorIn4Pages
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes our system for humor ranking in tweets within the SemEval 2017 Task 6: #HashtagWars (6A and 6B). For both subtasks, we use an off-the-shelf gradient boosting model built on a rich set of features, handcrafted to provide the model with the external knowledge needed to better predict the humor in the text. The features capture various cultural references and specific humor patterns. Our system ranked 2nd (officially 7th) among 10 submissions on the Subtask A and 2nd among 9 submissions on the Subtask B.

TakeLab-QA at SemEval-2017 Task 3: Classification Experiments for Answer Retrieval in Community QA
In this paper we present the TakeLab-QA entry to SemEval 2017 task 3, which is a question-comment re-ranking problem. We present a classification based approach, including two supervised learning models – Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). We use features based on different semantic similarity models (e.g., Latent Dirichlet Allocation), as well as features ba...

This paper describes our system for finegrained sentiment scoring of news headlines submitted to SemEval 2017 task 5, subtask 2. Our system uses a feature-light method that consists of a Support Vector Regression (SVR) with various kernels and word embedding vectors as features. Our best-performing submission scored 3rd on the task out of 29 teams and 4th out of 45 submissions, with a cosine sc...
متن کاملTakeLab at SemEval-2017 Task 4: Recent Deaths and the Power of Nostalgia in Sentiment Analysis in Twitter
This paper describes the system we submitted to SemEval-2017 Task 4 (Sentiment Analysis in Twitter), specifically subtasks A, B, and D. Our main focus was topic-based message polarity classification on a two-point scale (subtask B). The system we submitted uses a Support Vector Machine classifier with rich set of features, ranging from standard to more creative, task-specific features, includin...
متن کاملTakeLab: Systems for Measuring Semantic Text Similarity
This paper describes the two systems for determining the semantic similarity of short texts submitted to the SemEval 2012 Task 6. Most of the research on semantic similarity of textual content focuses on large documents. However, a fair amount of information is condensed into short text snippets such as social media posts, image captions, and scientific abstracts. We predict the human ratings o...
