Revealing COVID-19’s Social Dynamics: Diachronic Semantic Analysis of Vaccine and Symptom Discourse on Twitter (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Social media data provide a new source for social science and cultural analysis research, but its analysis is challenging due to the semantic shift phenomenon, where word meanings evolve over time. |
| Approach: | They propose an unsupervised dynamic word embedding method to capture longitudinal semantic shifts in social media data without predefined anchor words. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method captures longitudinal semantic shifts in social media data without predefined anchor words and leverages word co-occurrence statistics and dynamic updating to adapt embeddings over time. |
DLIR: Spherical Adaptation for Cross-Lingual Knowledge Transfer of Sociological Concepts Alignment (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for identifying nuanced sociological concepts fail to capture domain-specific subtleties or require extensive parallel data. |
| Approach: | a new approach to aligning nuanced sociological concepts is proposed . a dual-branch LoRA approach captures core semantics and counteracts specific language perturbations. |
| Outcome: | a new approach outperforms baselines on cross-lingual sociological concept retrieval across 10 languages. |
