Analyzing social media with crowdsourcing in Crowd4SDG

1 code implementation4 Aug 2022 Carlo Bono, Mehmet Oğuz Mülâyim, Cinzia Cappiello, Mark Carman, JesUs Cerquides, Jose Luis Fernandez-Marquez, Rosy Mondardini, Edoardo Ramalli, Barbara Pernici

However, finding relevant information among millions of posts being posted every day can be difficult, and developing a data analysis project usually requires time and technical skills.

A Technical Survey on Statistical Modelling and Design Methods for Crowdsourcing Quality Control

no code implementations5 Dec 2018 Yuan Jin, Mark Carman, Ye Zhu, Yong Xiang

Our survey is the first to bridge the two branches by providing technical details on how they work together under frameworks that systematically unify crowdsourcing aspects modelled by both of them to determine the response quality.

CDF Transform-and-Shift: An effective way to deal with datasets of inhomogeneous cluster densities

1 code implementation5 Oct 2018 Ye Zhu, Kai Ming Ting, Mark Carman, Maia Angelova

To match the implicit assumption, we propose to transform a given dataset such that the transformed clusters have approximately the same density while all regions of locally low density become globally low density -- homogenising cluster density while preserving the cluster structure of the dataset.

Distinguishing Question Subjectivity from Difficulty for Improved Crowdsourcing

no code implementations12 Feb 2018 Yuan Jin, Mark Carman, Ye Zhu, Wray Buntine

Experiments show that our model(1) improves the performance of both quality control for crowd-sourced answers and next answer prediction for crowd-workers, and (2) can potentially provide coherent rankings of questions in terms of their difficulty and subjectivity, so that task providers can refine their designs of the crowdsourcing tasks, e. g. by removing highly subjective questions or inappropriately difficult questions.

Expect the unexpected: Harnessing Sentence Completion for Sarcasm Detection

no code implementations19 Jul 2017 Aditya Joshi, Samarth Agrawal, Pushpak Bhattacharyya, Mark Carman

However, since the exact word where such an incongruity occurs may not be known in advance, we present two approaches: an All-words approach (which consults sentence completion for every content word) and an Incongruous words-only approach (which consults sentence completion for the 50% most incongruous content words).

Efficient Benchmarking of NLP APIs using Multi-armed Bandits

no code implementations EACL 2017 Gholamreza Haffari, Tuan Dung Tran, Mark Carman

Comparing NLP systems to select the best one for a task of interest, such as named entity recognition, is critical for practitioners and researchers.

`Who would have thought of that!': A Hierarchical Topic Model for Extraction of Sarcasm-prevalent Topics and Sarcasm Detection

no code implementations WS 2016 Aditya Joshi, Prayas Jain, Pushpak Bhattacharyya, Mark Carman

Designed on the basis of the intuition that sarcastic tweets are likely to have a mixture of words of both sentiments as against tweets with literal sentiment (either positive or negative), our hierarchical topic model discovers sarcasm-prevalent topics and topic-level sentiment.

Automatic Identification of Sarcasm Target: An Introductory Approach

no code implementations22 Oct 2016 Aditya Joshi, Pranav Goel, Pushpak Bhattacharyya, Mark Carman

To compare our approach, we use two baselines: a na\"ive baseline and another baseline based on work in sentiment target identification.

Are Word Embedding-based Features Useful for Sarcasm Detection?

no code implementations EMNLP 2016 Aditya Joshi, Vaibhav Tripathi, Kevin Patel, Pushpak Bhattacharyya, Mark Carman

For example, this augmentation results in an improvement in F-score of around 4\% for three out of these four feature sets, and a minor degradation in case of the fourth, when Word2Vec embeddings are used.

A Computational Approach to Automatic Prediction of Drunk Texting

no code implementations4 Oct 2016 Aditya Joshi, Abhijit Mishra, Balamurali AR, Pushpak Bhattacharyya, Mark Carman

Alcohol abuse may lead to unsociable behavior such as crime, drunk driving, or privacy leaks.
