• Abstract summary: This work addresses the task of Targeted Sentiment Analysis for the domain of news headlines, published by the main outlets during the 2019 Argentinean Presidential Elections. We present a polarity dataset of 1,976 headlines mentioning candidates in the 2019 elections at the target level. Preliminary experiments with state-of-the-art classification algorithms based on pre-trained linguistic models suggest that target information is helpful for this task.

• Abstract: Subjective texts have been studied by several works as they can induce certain behaviours in their users. Most work focuses on user-generated texts in social networks, but some other texts also comprise opinions on certain topics and could influence judgement criteria during political decisions. In this work, we address the task of Targeted Sentiment Analysis for the domain of news headlines, published by the main outlets during the 2019 Argentinean Presidential Elections. For this purpose, we present a polarity dataset of 1,976 headlines mentioning candidates in the 2019 elections at the target level. Preliminary experiments with state-of-the-art classification algorithms based on pre-trained linguistic models suggest that target information is helpful for this task. We make our data and pre-trained models publicly available.

  IEHate dataset contains 11,457 manually annotated Hindi tweets related to the Indian Assembly Election Campaign from November 1, 2021, to March 9, 2022. We benchmark the dataset using a range of machine learning, deep learning, and transformer-based algorithms. In particular, the relatively higher score of human evaluation over algorithms emphasizes the importance of utilizing both human and automated approaches for effective hate speech moderation.

  In this work we leverage datasets we already have, covering a wide range of tasks related to abusive language detection. Our goal is to build models cheaply for a new target label set and/or language, using only a few training examples of the target domain. Our experiments show that using already existing datasets and only a few-shots of the target task the performance of models improve both monolingually and across languages.

  Political Sentiment Analysis of social media helps the political strategists to scrutinize the performance of a party or candidate. During the time of elections, the social networks get flooded with blogs, chats, debates and discussions about the prospects of political parties and politicians. In this work, we chose to identify the inclination of political opinions present in Tweets by modelling it as a text classification problem using classical machine learning.
