Analysis and Comparison of Deep Learning Networks for Supporting Sentiment Mining in Text Corpora
2020
In this paper, we tackle the problem of the irony and sarcasm detection for the Italian language to contribute to the enrichment of the sentiment analysis field. We analyze and compare five deep-learning systems. Results show the high suitability of such systems to face the problem by achieving 93% of F1-Score in the best case. Furthermore, we briefly analyze the model architectures in order to choose the best compromise between performances and complexity.
Electric vehicles and psychology
2021
The popularity of electric vehicles is evidenced by the broad range of manufacturers presenting new models of plug-in hybrid and battery vehicles. However, the success of the revolution or, rather, the rebirth of electric vehicles, is hanging by a thread, as it lacks the involvement of a large number of users, and many psychological mechanisms hinder it. What are users’ true feelings about this new world of vehicles? Are people ready for the fifth level of automation, i.e., fully automatic driving and the absence of the driving position? The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the psychological aspects that influence the adoption of electric vehicles. Topics such as the chicken …
Modalitats de la ironia en la poesia lírica de Josep Maria de Sagarra
2016
Resum: Aquest article analitza la poesia que Josep Maria de Sagarra va escriure durant els anys vint i trenta —exclosos El comte Arnau, Poema de Nadal i la poesia satírica— per descobrir-hi les raons de fons que hi propicien el joc irònic. S’observa una neta diferència en la poesia escrita en cada una de les dècades, en relació amb un canvi en les circumstàncies personals i la sensibilitat manifestada envers noves estètiques. Si en la poesia dels anys vint la ironia, esgrimida com a defensa, havia de conviure amb la voluntat de depuració poètica, l’impacte del surrealisme i el contrast provocat per la coneixença de noves terres sentides com a estranyes aporten noves raons per al distanciame…
An SVM Ensamble Approach to Detect Irony and Stereotype Spreaders on Twitter
2022
The problem we address in this work is classifying whether a Twitter user has spread Irony and Stereotype or not. We used a text vectorization layer to generate Bag-Of-Words sequences. Then such sequences are passed to three different text classifiers (Decision Tree, Convolutional Neural Network, Naive Bayes). Our final classifier is an SVM. To test and validate our approach we used the dataset provided for the author profiling task organized by PAN@CLEF 2022. Our team (missino) submitted the predictions on the provided test set to participate at the shared task. Over several cross fold validation our approach was able to reach a maximum binary accuracy on the best validation split equal to…
On Psychological Aspects about Electric Vehicles, Part 1
2021
The high diffusion of electric vehicles is evidenced by every sector magazine or by the catalog of all the manufacturers inserting incessantly new models. But what are the user's most hidden reactions to the new world of vehicles? Is the user ready for the fifth level of automation (fully automatic driving and absence of the driving position)? The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the psychological aspects that influence the adoption of electric vehicles by users and beyond. Topics such as the egg and chicken paradox (electric vehicles and charging stations, who was born first) but also performance anxiety (range anxiety) will be addressed. Contradictions and irony will charac…
Czytanie Süskinda
2016
Plots created by Patrick Süskind are transparent and uncomplicated; they follow a conventional path, seemingly aloof from formal modernist experiments, and close with distinctive endings; in popular reception, they give a sense of confidence that even the most fantastic worlds, derived from the corners of imagination, may be set into a familiar and closed whole. Perhaps this simplicity makes it easy to be satisfied by their seductive plot and steer clear off tracks leading to the content encrypted within the deep structure. The author of the present paper attempts to interpret the short stories: {Maître Mussard's Bequest} and {The Story of Mr Sommer} as a metaphorical and grotesque vision o…
Analysis and review of the role of sarcasm and litote: A proposal from the perspective of the Theory of Relevance
2009
En general, el sarcasmo y la lítote han sido consideradas tradicionalmente como figuras retóricas y, por tanto, como usos dislocados del lenguaje. Desde la tradición clásica, se ha aceptado que existen dos tipos de lenguaje: el literal y el figurado. En tal sentido, este artículo pretende hacer un repaso a algunas consideraciones realizadas desde la Teoría de la Relevancia y, por tanto, concluir que existe un único lenguaje que depende de la relevancia comunicativa perseguida. Overall, sarcasm and litote have been considered rhetorical figures and, therefore, dislocated uses of language. Classical studies accept the existence of two different languages: the literal one and the figurative on…
"Co jest pragnienie moje?" : o "Don Juanie" Tadeusza Rittnera
2019
The article attempts to read a new reading of Tadeusz Rittner’s drama Don Juan (1909), updated with the cultural contexts of the 19th century. Therefore, they were cited, inter alia, works of Søren Kierkegaard’s Seducer’s Diary and The Immediate Erotic stages or the Musical Erotic from the volume Either/Or and the psychological novel by Paul Bourget; as well as motives, themes and views characteristic of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, both the revelations of Sigmund Freud and Otto Weininger, as well as provocations by Alfred Jarry or irony, grotesque, metatheatricalism inherent in austromodernism. The article is an attempt at a polemic with the categorical judgment of Rittner’s dr…
“Who’s Afraid of the Dark?”: The Ironic Self-Stereotype of the Ethnic Other in Finnish Rap Music
2017
Drawing on recent sociolinguistic work on globalization and superdiversity, this chapter explores the multisemiotic and ironic construction of the self-stereotype of the ethnic Other in a Finnish rap music video. Because Finland and Finnish hip-hop are still ethnically relatively homogeneous, people of migrant background, such as rap artist Musta Barbaari (Black Barbarian), need to negotiate their belonging in various ways. In the video, he deliberately constructs himself as the ethnicized and sexualized Other to highlight prejudice, discrimination and racism. In doing this, he voices societal critique and dissatisfaction – and speaks for multiculturalism and tolerance in (super)diversifyin…
“Dear Young People, don’t vote”. Seniors in political advertisements: irony and/or legitimation
2019
The widespread representation of older people in popular culture as passive and inert has been challenged in a range of recent studies and publications (Nussbaum / Coupland 2004, Caprara et al. 2013). In view of the increasing number of older adults in today’s society, the notion of aging has received significant attention in the public sphere where common assumptions and stereotypes are challenged and potential scenarios are presented. As it has been discussed from different academic perspectives over the past twenty years, older people’s collective condition is undergoing important sociological and cultural changes, making the elderly - among other things - an enticing political reservoir…
