Transformers have been shown to work well for the task of English euphemism disambiguation, in which a potentially euphemistic term (PET) is classified as euphemistic or non-euphemistic in a particular context.

Euphemisms prove to be a difficult topic, not only because they are subject to language change, but also because humans may not agree on what is a euphemism and what is not.

The crowdsourcing results suggest that while humans tend to see censored blogposts as more controversial and more likely to trigger action in real life than the uncensored counterparts, they in general cannot make a better guess than our model when it comes to `reading the mind' of the censors in deciding whether a blogpost should be censored.

Our starting point is that words in a given text segment, such as a paragraph, that are highranking representatives of a common topic of discussion are less likely to be a part of an idiomatic expression.
no code implementations • COLING 2016 • Jing Peng, Anna Feldman
Some expressions can be ambiguous between idiomatic and literal interpretations depending on the context they occur in, e. g., {`}sales hit the roof{'} vs. {`}hit the roof of the car{'}.
