• Abstract: We train word-emoji embeddings on large scale messaging data obtained from the Jodel online social network. Our data set contains more than 40 million sentences, of which 11 million sentences are annotated with a subset of the Unicode 13.0 standard Emoji list. We explore semantic emoji associations contained in this embedding by analyzing associations between emojis, between emojis and text, and between text and emojis. Our investigations demonstrate anecdotally that word-emoji embeddings trained on large scale messaging data can reflect real-world semantic associations. To enable further research we release the Jodel Emoji Embedding Dataset (JEED1488) containing 1488 emojis and their embeddings along 300 dimensions.

• EmojiLM: Modeling the New Emoji Language [44.23076273155259]
  We develop a text-emoji parallel corpus, Text2Emoji, from a large language model. Based on the parallel corpus, we distill a sequence-to-sequence model, EmojiLM, which is specialized in the text-emoji bidirectional translation. Our proposed model outperforms strong baselines and the parallel corpus benefits emoji-related downstream tasks.

  We collect a crowdsourced dataset of one-word emoji descriptions for 1,289 emojis presented to participants with no surrounding text. We find that with 30 annotations per emoji, 16 emojis are completely unambiguous, whereas 55 emojis are so ambiguous that their descriptions are indistinguishable from randomly chosen descriptions.

  We propose a method to learn emoji representations called EmoGraph2vec and design an emoji-aware co-attention network. Our model designs a co-attention mechanism to incorporate the text and emojis, and integrates a squeeze-and-excitation block into a convolutional neural network. Experimental results show that the proposed model can outperform several baselines for sentiment analysis on benchmark datasets.

  We offer the first longitudinal study of how emoji semantics changes over time, applying techniques from computational linguistics to six years of Twitter data. We identify five patterns in emoji semantic development and find evidence that the less abstract an emoji is, the more likely it is to undergo semantic change. To aid future work on emoji and semantics, we make our data publicly available along with a web-based interface that anyone can use to explore semantic change in emoji.

• Assessing Emoji Use in Modern Text Processing Tools [35.79765461713127]
  Emojis have become ubiquitous in digital communication, due to their visual appeal as well as their ability to vividly convey human emotion. The growing prominence of emojis in social media and other instant messaging also leads to an increased need for systems and tools to operate on text containing emojis. In this study, we assess this support by considering test sets of tweets with emojis, based on which we perform a series of experiments investigating the ability of prominent NLP and text processing tools to adequately process them.

  The emoji prediction task aims at predicting the proper set of emojis associated with a piece of text. We extend the existing setting of the emoji prediction task to include a richer set of emojis and to allow multi-label classification. We propose novel models for multi-class and multi-label emoji prediction based on Transformer networks.
