Multi-view informed attention-based model for Irony and Satire detection in Spanish variants
[EN] Making machines understand language and reasoning on it has been one of the most challenging problems addressed by Artificial Intelligent researchers. This challenge increases when figurative language is used for communicating complex meanings, intentions, emotions and attitudes in creative and funny ways. In fact, sentiment analysis approaches struggle when facing irony, satire and other figurative languages, particularly those where the explanation of a prediction might arguably be as necessary as the prediction itself. This paper describes a new model MvAttLSTM based on deep learning for irony and satire detection in tweets written in distinct Spanish variants. The proposed model is based on an attentive-LSTM informed with three additional views learned from distinct perspectives. We investigate two strategies to pass these views into MvAttLSTM. We perform an extensive evaluation on three corpora, one for irony detection and two for satire detection. Moreover, in order to study the robustness of our proposed model, we investigate its performance on humor recognition. Experiments confirm that the proposed views help our model to improve its performance. Moreover, they show that affective information benefits our model to detect irony and satire. In particular, a first analysis of the results highlights the discriminating power of emotional features obtained from SenticNet and SEL lexicon. Overall, our system achieves the state-of-the-art performance in irony and satire detection in Spanish variants and competitive results in humor recognition.The work of the first two authors was in the framework of the research project MISMIS-FAKEnHATE on MISinformation and MIScommunication in social media: FAKE news and HATE speech (PGC2018-096212-B-C31) , funded by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, and DeepPattern (PROMETEO/2019/121) , funded by the Generalitat Valenciana, Spain.Ortega-Bueno, R.; Rosso, P.; Medina-Pagola, JE.

LaSTUS/TALN at TASS 2019: sentiment analysis for spanish language variants with neural networks
Comunicació presentada a: Iberian Languages Evaluation Forum (IberLEF 2019), celebrat el 24 de setembre de 2019, a Bilbao, EspanyaThis paper describes the participation of LaSTUS/TALN
team in the shared task Sentiment Analysis at SEPLN (TASS) organized in the context of IberLEF 2019. TASS focuses on the classification
of tweets written in the Spanish language (from Spain, Peru, Costa Rica,
Uruguay and Mexico) with respect to their polarity or sentiment. This
year TASS proposes two sub-tasks: monolingual and cross-lingual sentiment analysis. This paper presents a deep learning approach based on
bidirectional LSTM (biLSTM) models to face both sub-tasks. The paper
reports and discusses the official results achieved by our team
