Mandarin Alphabetical Word (MAW) is one indispensable component of Modern Chinese that demonstrates unique code-mixing idiosyncrasies influenced by language exchanges.
Comparing Probabilistic, Distributional and Transformer-Based Models on Logical Metonymy Interpretation
In linguistics and cognitive science, Logical metonymies are defined as type clashes between an event-selecting verb and an entity-denoting noun (e. g.
Using Conceptual Norms for Metaphor Detection
This paper reports a linguistically-enriched method of detecting token-level metaphors for the second shared task on Metaphor Detection.
Are Word Embeddings Really a Bad Fit for the Estimation of Thematic Fit?
While neural embeddings represent a popular choice for word representation in a wide variety of NLP tasks, their usage for thematic fit modeling has been limited, as they have been reported to lag behind syntax-based count models.
Affection Driven Neural Networks for Sentiment Analysis
Deep neural network models have played a critical role in sentiment analysis with promising results in the recent decade.
Ciron: a New Benchmark Dataset for Chinese Irony Detection
Automatic Chinese irony detection is a challenging task, and it has a strong impact on linguistic research.
Distributional Semantics Meets Construction Grammar. towards a Unified Usage-Based Model of Grammar and Meaning
In this paper, we propose a new type of semantic representation of Construction Grammar that combines constructions with the vector representations used in Distributional Semantics.
A Structured Distributional Model of Sentence Meaning and Processing
In this paper, we propose a Structured Distributional Model (SDM) that combines word embeddings with formal semantics and is based on the assumption that sentences represent events and situations.
A Report on the Third VarDial Evaluation Campaign
In this paper, we present the findings of the Third VarDial Evaluation Campaign organized as part of the sixth edition of the workshop on Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Similar Languages, Varieties and Dialects (VarDial), co-located with NAACL 2019.
A realistic and robust model for Chinese word segmentation
Both experiments support the claim that the WBD model is a realistic model for Chinese word segmentation as it can be easily adapted for new variants with the robust result.
Dual Memory Network Model for Biased Product Review Classification
In this work, we propose a dual user and product memory network (DUPMN) model to learn user profiles and product reviews using separate memory networks.

Fake News Detection Through Multi-Perspective Speaker Profiles
This paper proposes a novel method to incorporate speaker profiles into an attention based LSTM model for fake news detection.
A Cognition Based Attention Model for Sentiment Analysis
Evaluations show the CBA based method outperforms the state-of-the-art local context based attention methods significantly.
Leveraging Eventive Information for Better Metaphor Detection and Classification
We propose a set of syntactic conditions crucial to event structures to improve the model based on the classification of radical groups.
Selective Annotation of Sentence Parts: Identification of Relevant Sub-sentential Units
Many NLP tasks involve sentence-level annotation yet the relevant information is not encoded at sentence level but at some relevant parts of the sentence.
