• Abstract: Researchers commonly perform sentiment analysis on large collections of short texts like tweets, Reddit posts or newspaper headlines that are all focused on a specific topic, theme or event. Usually, general-purpose sentiment analysis methods are used. These perform well on average but miss the variation in meaning that happens across different contexts, for example, the word "active" has a very different intention and valence in the phrase "active lifestyle" versus "active volcano". This work presents a new approach, CIDER (Context Informed Dictionary and sEmantic Reasoner), which performs context-sensitive linguistic analysis, where the valence of sentiment-laden terms is inferred from the whole corpus before being used to score the individual texts. In this paper, we detail the CIDER algorithm and demonstrate that it outperforms state-of-the-art generalist unsupervised sentiment analysis techniques on a large collection of tweets about the weather. CIDER is also applicable to alternative (non-sentiment) linguistic scales. A case study on gender in the UK is presented, with the identification of highly gendered and sentiment-laden days. We have made our implementation of CIDER available as a Python package: https://pypi.org/project/ciderpolarity/.

  Local models have recently attained astounding performances in Entity Disambiguation (ED) Previous works limited their studies to using, as the textual representation of each candidate, only its Wikipedia title. In this paper, we address this limitation and investigate to what extent more expressive textual representations can mitigate it. We report a new state of the art on 2 out of 6 benchmarks we consider and strongly improve the generalization capability over unseen patterns.

We have also compared the effectiveness of using word versus sentence embeddings while applying our methodology and realized that both give almost the same results.

  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.

  Context-aware machine translation models are designed to leverage contextual information, but often fail to do so. In this paper, we ask several questions: What contexts do human translators use to resolve ambiguous words? We introduce SCAT (Supporting Context for Ambiguous Translations), a new English-French dataset comprising supporting context words for 14K translations. Using SCAT, we perform an in-depth analysis of the context used to disambiguate, examining positional and lexical characteristics of the supporting words.
