Figurative Usage Detection of Symptom Words to Improve Personal Health Mention Detection (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Past work in personal health mention detection uses classification-based methods with human-engineered features or word embedding-based features. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine a pipeline-based and a feature augmentation-based approach to combine personal health mention detection with figurative usage detection to improve the accuracy of the prediction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves the F-score of personal health mention detection by 2.21% over the pipeline-based approach and feature augmentation-based approaches. |

ContrastWSD: Enhancing Metaphor Detection with Word Sense Disambiguation Following the Metaphor Identification Procedure (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for identifying metaphoric expressions in text relied on manual effort to identify the basic and contextual meanings of words. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that integrates the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) and Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) to extract and contrast the contextual meaning with the basic meaning of a word to determine whether it is used metaphorically in a sentence. |

| Challenge: | Linguists distinguish between novel and conventional metaphors, a distinction which the metaphor detection task in NLP does not take into account. |
| Approach: | They propose a method which treats conventional metaphors as a property of word senses in a lexicon and combines metaphor detection with word sense disambiguation to train it. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms a state-of-the-art model in annotating metaphor in two subsets of WordNet and achieves .78 ROC-AUC score compared to baseline model . |
Hierarchical Attention Network for Explainable Depression Detection on Twitter Aided by Metaphor Concept Mappings (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing black-box-like deep learning methods for depression detection focus on improving classification performance, but it is impossible to explain and interpret those models that rely on state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning techniques. |
| Approach: | They propose to use hierarchical attention mechanisms and feed-forward neural networks to encode a model for depression detection on Twitter that leverages metaphorical concept mappings as input. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model leverages metaphorical concept mappings as input to detect depressed individuals and identify features of such users’ tweets. |
