How does their model learn using mostly raw data?
by exploiting discourse relations to propagate polarity from seed predicates to final sentiment polarity
Recognizing affective events that trigger positive or negative sentiment has a wide range of natural language processing applications but remains a challenging problem mainly because the polarity of an event is not necessarily predictable from its constituent words. In this paper, we propose to propagate affective pola...
Affective events BIBREF0 are events that typically affect people in positive or negative ways. For example, getting money and playing sports are usually positive to the experiencers; catching cold and losing one's wallet are negative.

We are interested in the problem of visual question answering (VQA), where an algorithm is presented with an image and a question that is formulated in natural language and relates to the contents of the image. The goal of this task is to get the algorithm to correctly answer the question. The VQA task has recently rec...

Which training dataset allowed for the best generalization to benchmark sets?
MultiNLI
Neural network models have been very successful in natural language inference, with the best models reaching 90% accuracy in some benchmarks. However, the success of these models turns out to be largely benchmark specific. We show that models trained on a natural language inference dataset drawn from one benchmark fail...
Natural Language Inference (NLI) has attracted considerable interest in the NLP community and, recently, a large number of neural network-based systems have been proposed to deal with the task. One can attempt a rough categorization of these systems into: a) sentence encoding systems, and b) other neural network system...

What dataset do they use?
They used Wiki Vietnamese language and Vietnamese newspapers to pretrain embeddings and dataset provided in HSD task to train model (details not mentioned in paper).
Nowadays, Social network sites (SNSs) such as Facebook, Twitter are common places where people show their opinions, sentiments and share information with others. However, some people use SNSs to post abuse and harassment threats in order to prevent other SNSs users from expressing themselves as well as seeking differen...
Currently, social networks are so popular. Some of the biggest ones include Facebook, Twitter, Youtube,... with extremely number of users. Thus, controlling content of those platforms is essential. For years, social media companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have been investing hundreds of millions euros on...

Do the use word embeddings alone or they replace some previous features of the model with word embeddings?
They use it as addition to previous model - they add new edge between words if word embeddings are similar.
Word co-occurrence networks have been employed to analyze texts both in the practical and theoretical scenarios. Despite the relative success in several applications, traditional co-occurrence networks fail in establishing links between similar words whenever they appear distant in the text. Here we investigate whether...
The ability to construct complex and diverse linguistic structures is one of the main features that set us apart from all other species. Despite its ubiquity, some language aspects remain unknown. Topics such as language origin and evolution have been studied by researchers from diverse disciplines, including Linguisti...

How many natural language explanations are human-written?
Totally 6980 validation and test image-sentence pairs have been corrected.
The recently proposed SNLI-VE corpus for recognising visual-textual entailment is a large, real-world dataset for fine-grained multimodal reasoning. However, the automatic way in which SNLI-VE has been assembled (via combining parts of two related datasets) gives rise to a large number of errors in the labels of this c...
Inspired by textual entailment BIBREF0, Xie BIBREF1 introduced the visual-textual entailment (VTE) task, which considers semantic entailment between a premise image and a textual hypothesis. Semantic entailment consists in determining if the hypothesis can be concluded from the premise, and assigning to each pair of (p...

What is the dataset used as input to the Word2Vec algorithm?
Italian Wikipedia and Google News extraction producing final vocabulary of 618224 words
Word representation is fundamental in NLP tasks, because it is precisely from the coding of semantic closeness between words that it is possible to think of teaching a machine to understand text. Despite the spread of word embedding concepts, still few are the achievements in linguistic contexts other than English. In ...
In order to make human language comprehensible to a computer, it is obviously essential to provide some word encoding. The simplest approach is the one-hot encoding, where each word is represented by a sparse vector with dimension equal to the vocabulary size. In addition to the storage need, the main problem of this r...

What methodology is used to compensate for limited labelled data?
Influential tweeters ( who they define as individuals certain to have a classifiable sentiment regarding the topic at hand) is used to label tweets in bulk in the absence of manually-labeled tweets.
While it is well-documented that climate change accepters and deniers have become increasingly polarized in the United States over time, there has been no large-scale examination of whether these individuals are prone to changing their opinions as a result of natural external occurrences. On the sub-population of Twitt...
Much prior work has been done at the intersection of climate change and Twitter, such as tracking climate change sentiment over time BIBREF2 , finding correlations between Twitter climate change sentiment and seasonal effects BIBREF3 , and clustering Twitter users based on climate mentalities using network analysis BIB...

What are the baseline state of the art models?
Stanford NER, BiLSTM+CRF, LSTM+CNN+CRF, T-NER and BiLSTM+CNN+Co-Attention
Named Entity Recognition (NER) from social media posts is a challenging task. User generated content which forms the nature of social media, is noisy and contains grammatical and linguistic errors. This noisy content makes it much harder for tasks such as named entity recognition. However some applications like automat...
A common social media delivery system such as Twitter supports various media types like video, image and text. This media allows users to share their short posts called Tweets. Users are able to share their tweets with other users that are usually following the source user. Hovewer there are rules to protect the privac...

How do they extract causality from text?
They identify documents that contain the unigrams 'caused', 'causing', or 'causes'
Identifying and communicating relationships between causes and effects is important for understanding our world, but is affected by language structure, cognitive and emotional biases, and the properties of the communication medium. Despite the increasing importance of social media, much remains unknown about causal sta...
Social media and online social networks now provide vast amounts of data on human online discourse and other activities BIBREF0 , BIBREF1 , BIBREF2 , BIBREF3 , BIBREF4 , BIBREF5 , BIBREF6 .
