Universal, Unsupervised (Rule-Based), Uncovered Sentiment Analysis
We present a novel unsupervised approach for multilingual sentiment analysis
driven by compositional syntax-based rules. On the one hand, we exploit some of
the main advantages of unsupervised algorithms: (1) the interpretability of
their output, in contrast with most supervised models, which behave as a black
box and (2) their robustness across different corpora and domains. On the other
hand, by introducing the concept of compositional operations and exploiting
syntactic information in the form of universal dependencies, we tackle one of
their main drawbacks: their rigidity on data that are structured differently
depending on the language concerned. Experiments show an improvement both over
existing unsupervised methods, and over state-of-the-art supervised models when
evaluating outside their corpus of origin. Experiments also show how the same
compositional operations can be shared across languages. The system is

One model, two languages: training bilingual parsers with harmonized treebanks
We introduce an approach to train lexicalized parsers using bilingual corpora
obtained by merging harmonized treebanks of different languages, producing
parsers that can analyze sentences in either of the learned languages, or even
sentences that mix both. We test the approach on the Universal Dependency
Treebanks, training with MaltParser and MaltOptimizer. The results show that
these bilingual parsers are more than competitive, as most combinations not
only preserve accuracy, but some even achieve significant improvements over the
corresponding monolingual parsers. Preliminary experiments also show the
approach to be promising on texts with code-switching and when more languages
are added.Comment: 7 pages, 4 tables, 1 figur
Towards Syntactic Iberian Polarity Classification
Lexicon-based methods using syntactic rules for polarity classification rely
on parsers that are dependent on the language and on treebank guidelines. Thus,
rules are also dependent and require adaptation, especially in multilingual
scenarios. We tackle this challenge in the context of the Iberian Peninsula,
releasing the first symbolic syntax-based Iberian system with rules shared
across five official languages: Basque, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese and
Spanish. The model is made available.Comment: 7 pages, 5 tables. Contribution to the 8th Workshop on Computational

The velocity ellipsoid for giants and dwarfs
The solar motion and the velocity ellipsoid are derived from samples of stars of different spectral types and luminosity class. The equations used are those of the radial velocity component of motion, including the K-term and galactic rotation corrections. The results obtained are compared with the published ones. The complete paper will be published elsewhere.Asociación Argentina de Astronomí
