• Abstract: The large majority of the research performed on stance detection has been focused on developing more or less sophisticated text classification systems, even when many benchmarks are based on social network data such as Twitter. This paper aims to take on the stance detection task by placing the emphasis not so much on the text itself but on the interaction data available on social networks. More specifically, we propose a new method to leverage social information such as friends and retweets by generating relational embeddings, namely, dense vector representations of interaction pairs. Our method can be applied to any language and target without any manual tuning. Our experiments on seven publicly available datasets and four different languages show that combining our relational embeddings with textual methods helps to substantially improve performance, obtaining best results for six out of seven evaluation settings, outperforming strong baselines based on large pre-trained language models.

  We present our work on the SemEval shared task 9 on predicting the level of intimacy for the given text. The dataset consists of tweets in ten languages, out of which only six are available in the training dataset. We show that an ensemble of multilingual models along with a language-specific monolingual model has the best performance.

We find that translate-test transfer is superior to zero-shot transfer and that few-shot learning is hard to harness for many tasks.

  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.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) have received increasing attention in the research community and demonstrated their promising results on this canonical task. Despite the success, their performance could be largely jeopardized in practice since they are unable to capture high-order interaction between words. We propose a principled model -- hypergraph attention networks (HyperGAT) which can obtain more expressive power with less computational consumption for text representation learning.
