• Title: The emojification of sentiment on social media: Collection and analysis of a longitudinal Twitter sentiment dataset
• Authors: Wenjie Yin, Rabab Alkhalifa, Arkaitz Zubiaga
• Abstract summary: TM-Senti is a new large-scale, distantly supervised Twitter sentiment dataset with over 184 million tweets. We describe and assess our methodology to put together a large-scale, emoticon- and emoji-based labelled sentiment analysis dataset. Our analysis highlights interesting temporal changes, among others in the increasing use of emojis over emoticons.

• Abstract: Social media, as a means for computer-mediated communication, has been extensively used to study the sentiment expressed by users around events or topics. There is however a gap in the longitudinal study of how sentiment evolved in social media over the years. To fill this gap, we develop TM-Senti, a new large-scale, distantly supervised Twitter sentiment dataset with over 184 million tweets and covering a time period of over seven years. We describe and assess our methodology to put together a large-scale, emoticon- and emoji-based labelled sentiment analysis dataset, along with an analysis of the resulting dataset. Our analysis highlights interesting temporal changes, among others in the increasing use of emojis over emoticons. We publicly release the dataset for further research in tasks including sentiment analysis and text classification of tweets. The dataset can be fully rehydrated including tweet metadata and without missing tweets thanks to the archive of tweets publicly available on the Internet Archive, which the dataset is based on.

  This paper investigates the effect of scaling datasets on hateful content through a comparative audit of two datasets: LAION-400M and LAION-2B. We found that hate content increased by nearly 12% with dataset scale, measured both qualitatively and quantitatively. We also found that filtering dataset contents based on Not Safe For Work (NSFW) values calculated based on images alone does not exclude all the harmful content in alt-text.

  Short texts published on Twitter have earned significant attention as a rich source of information. Their inherent characteristics, such as the informal, and noisy linguistic style, remain challenging to many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. This study fulfils an assessment of existing language models in distinguishing the sentiment expressed in tweets by using a rich collection of 22 datasets.

  We analyze the hoarding and anti-hoarding patterns of over 42,000 unique Twitter users in the United States from March 1 to April 30, 2020. We find the percentage of females in both hoarding and anti-hoarding groups is higher than that of the general Twitter user population. The LIWC anxiety mean for the hoarding-related tweets is significantly higher than the baseline Twitter anxiety mean.
