Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Bragging is a speech act employed to build a favorable self-image through positive statements about oneself. |
| Approach: | They propose to use tweets annotated for bragging to build a model that can predict bragging with macro F1 up to 72.42 and 35.95 for binary and multi-class bragging classification tasks respectively. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models predict bragging with macro F1 up to 72.42 and 35.95 in binary and multi-class classification tasks respectively. |
