- Title: Assessing Emoji Use in Modern Text Processing Tools
- Authors: Abu Awal Md Shoeb and Gerard de Melo
- Abstract summary: 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.

- Abstract: Emojis have become ubiquitous in digital communication, due to their visual
appeal as well as their ability to vividly convey human emotion, among other
factors. 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. In particular, we consider tokenization,
part-of-speech tagging, as well as sentiment analysis. Our findings show that
many tools still have notable shortcomings when operating on text containing
emojis.

- Semantics Preserving Emoji Recommendation with Large Language Models [47.94761630160614]
Existing emoji recommendation methods are primarily evaluated based on their ability to match the exact emoji a user chooses in the original text.
We propose a new semantics preserving evaluation framework for emoji recommendation, which measures a model's ability to recommend emojis that maintain the semantic consistency with the user's text.

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 propose a transformer-based approach for emoji prediction using BERT, a widely-used pre-trained language model.
We fine-tuned BERT on a large corpus of text (tweets) containing both text and emojis to predict the most appropriate emoji for a given text.
Our experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms several state-of-the-art models in predicting emojis with an accuracy of over 75 percent.

Anaylsis [9.447106020795292]
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 propose an emoji-based co-attention network that learns the mutual emotional semantics between text and emojis on microblogs.
Our model adopts the co-attention mechanism based on bidirectional long short-term memory incorporating the text and emojis, and integrates a squeeze-and-excitation block in a convolutional neural network to increase its sensitivity to emotional semantic features.

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.

We additionally conduct experiments to assess to what extent such associations can be inferred from existing data, such as similar associations can be predicted for a larger set of emojis.
