Papers with Chinese social media
The UIR Uncertainty Corpus for Chinese: Annotating Chinese Microblog Corpus for Uncertainty Identification from Social Media (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Uncertainty identification is an important semantic processing task, critical to the quality of information in terms of factuality in many NLP techniques and applications. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate Chinese microblogs with an open uncertainty corpus . they propose to use contextual uncertain semantics rather than traditional cue-phrases to identify uncertainty . |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus can be used to identify uncertainty in social media texts. |
Emotion Cause Extraction on Social Media without Human Annotation (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have focused on extracting emotion causes from news articles, but lack of fine-grained annotations has limited the ECE task. |
| Approach: | They propose a new ECE framework that extracts emotion causes from social media data without relying on human annotations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves high extraction performance and generalizability without relying on human annotations. |
Named Entity Recognition for Social Media Texts with Semantic Augmentation (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches for named entity recognition suffer from data sparsity problems when conducted on short and informal texts. |
| Approach: | They propose a neural-based approach to named entity recognition for social media texts . they obtain augmented semantic information from a large-scale corpus and encode it . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms existing approaches on three social media datasets. |
Autoencoder as Assistant Supervisor: Improving Text Representation for Chinese Social Media Text Summarization (P18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing abstractive text summarization models learn a semantic representation of the source text and the summaries from it. |
| Approach: | They evaluate the model on a popular Chinese social media dataset and compare it to other models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance on a popular Chinese social media dataset. |
Topic-Aware Neural Keyphrase Generation for Social Media Language (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to extract words from source posts to form keyphrases do not exploit latent topics. |
| Approach: | They propose a sequence-to-sequence-based neural keyphrase generation framework . it allows absent keyphrases to be created, and it allows joint modeling of latent topic representations . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms extraction and generation models without exploiting latent topics. |
Chinese MentalBERT: Domain-Adaptive Pre-training on Social Media for Chinese Mental Health Text Analysis (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for language analysis are inadequate for specialized domains like psychology. |
| Approach: | They have enriched a Chinese social media database with psychological lexicons to enhance its applicability to psychological text analysis. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performed better on six public datasets and provided relevant predictions given the masked sentences. |
Can Large Language Models Understand Internet Buzzwords Through User-Generated Content (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for generating definitions of internet buzzwords rely on user-generated content, such as posts and reviews, to understand them. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to generate accurate buzzword definitions using UGC as examples. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method mirrors human language learning skills and can produce more accurate definitions. |
MentalGLM Series: Explainable Large Language Models for Mental Health Analysis on Chinese Social Media (2025.emnlp-main)

Wei Zhai, Nan Bai, Qing Zhao, Jianqiang Li, Fan Wang, Hongzhi Qi, Meng Jiang, Xiaoqin Wang, Bing Xiang Yang, Guanghui Fu
| Challenge: | Social media is a key platform for emotional expression, yet deep learning lacks flexibility and interpretability. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Chinese social media to train interpretable mental health instruction datasets to test models' ability to explain their decisions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models outperform deep learning and LLMs on three mental health downstream tasks and demonstrate their potential for clinical applications. |
Image Matters: A New Dataset and Empirical Study for Multimodal Hyperbole Detection (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | linguistic detection of hyperbole is an important part of understanding human expression . studies on hyperbolic expressions focus on text modality, but social media can be used to detect it . |
| Approach: | They propose to use a multimodal detection dataset to study hyperbole detection . they treat text and image as two modalities and evaluate pre-trained encoders . |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is constructed from five different keywords and shows its performance. |
