| Challenge: | Existing methods for tracing time-related semantic shifts with word embedding models lack the cohesion, common terminology and shared practices of more established areas of natural language processing. |
| Approach: | They propose several axes along which these methods can be compared and propose a framework for comparison. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods are compared with existing methods and outline their main challenges and potential applications. |
A (Psycho-)Linguistically Motivated Scheme for Annotating and Exploring Emotions in a Genre-Diverse Corpus (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using a linguistic perspective, emotion annotation is considered a difficult task because of the lack of consensus on emotional categories, the fuzziness of boundaries between them or the great variability of emotion expressions types. |
| Approach: | They propose a scheme for emotion annotation and its manual application on a genre-diverse corpus of texts written in french. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method clarifies the main concepts implied by the analysis of emotions as they are expressed in texts and performs a manual annotation campaign on a corpus of 1,594 texts (ca. 515K tokens) of different genres. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Emotion lexicons provide information about associations between words and emotions. |
| Approach: | They use crowdsourcing to annotate words with Plutchik's 8 basic emotions, providing binary labels. |
| Outcome: | The proposed lexicons provide information about associations between words and emotions . the lexiconics are useful in emotional analyses of reviews, literary texts, and posts on social media . |
Toward Sentiment Aware Semantic Change Analysis (2024.eacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current approaches to analyze semantic change are lagging behind . current methods only detect semantic change as a binary classification or graded change scores . |
| Approach: | They propose to augment models of semantic change with sentiment information . they demonstrate that existing models extract reliable sentiment information from historical corpora . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach shows mixed results on the English SemEval of Lexical Semantic Change and its associated historical corpora. |
Computational modeling of semantic change (2024.eacl-tutorials)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Languages change constantly over time, influenced by social, technological, cultural and political factors that affect how people express themselves. |
| Approach: | They propose to categorise the types of change, the causes and the mechanisms underlying the different types of changes using large diachronic corpora and evaluation benchmarks. |
| Outcome: | In historical linguistics, tools and methods have been developed to analyse the process . they include categorisations of types of change, causes and mechanisms . but traditional methods, while informative, are often based on small, carefully curated samples. |
