| Challenge: | a large number of verbal polarity shifters are available for multiple languages, but only English has a sizable lexicon of them. |
| Approach: | They use methods to create large lexicon of verbal polarity shifters in germany . they bootstrap annotated verbs with a supervised classifier and apply them to German . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is able to create a large lexicon of verbal polarity shifters in germany . it reduces annotation effort by leveraging cross-lingual information from the English lexico . |

Enhancing a Lexicon of Polarity Shifters through the Supervised Classification of Shifting Directions (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing polarity shifter lexica only specify when a word can cause shifting, but do not specify when this is limited to a single shifting direction. |

Transformers in the loop: Polarity in neural models of language (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent Transformer-based language representation models (LRMs) show impressive results on practical text analysis tasks, but do they have access to complex linguistic notions? |
| Approach: | They propose to use polarity as a case study to compare metrics derived from language models to human judgments obtained in psycholinguistic experiments. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is more accurate than linguistic theory predictions for polarity, and allows us to use language models to discover new insights into natural language grammar beyond existing linguistic theories. |

Representation Mapping: A Novel Approach to Generate High-Quality Multi-Lingual Emotion Lexicons (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing representational frameworks for emotion encoding are incompatible with semantic polarity, resulting in a large amount of incompatible emotion lexicons. |
