Lingmotif: una Herramienta de Análisis de Sentimiento Enfocada en el Usuario
In this paper, we describe Lingmotif, a lexicon-based, linguistically-motivated, user-friendly, GUI-enabled, multi-platform, Sentiment Analysis desktop application. Lingmotif can perform SA on any type of input texts, regardless of their length and topic. The analysis is based on the identification of sentiment-laden words and phrases contained in the application's rich core lexicons, and employs context rules to account for sentiment shifters. It offers easy-to-interpret visual representations of quantitative data, as well as a detailed, qualitative analysis of the text in terms of its sentiment. Lingmotif can also take user-provided plugin lexicons in order to account for domain-specific sentiment expression. As of version 1.0, Lingmotif analyzes English and Spanish texts. Lingmotif thus aims to become a general-purpose Sentiment Analysis tool for discourse analysis, rhetoric, psychology, marketing, the language industries, and others.En este artículo se describe Lingmotif, una aplicación de Análisis de Sentimiento multi-plataforma, con interfaz gráfica de usuario amigable, motivada lingüísticamente y basada en léxico.

Identifying Polarity in Financial Texts for Sentiment Analysis: A Corpus-based Approach
AbstractIn this paper we describe our methodology to integrate domain-specific sentiment analysis in a lexicon-based system initially designed for general language texts. Our approach to dealing with specialized domains is based on the idea of “plug-in” lexical resources which can be applied on demand. A simple 3-step model based on the weirdness ratio measure is proposed to extract candidate terms from specialized corpora, which are then matched against our existing general-language polarity database to obtain sentiment-bearing words whose polarity is domain-specific
The expression of sentiment in user reviews of hotels
The linguistic expression of sentiment, understood as the polarity of an opinion, is known to be domain-specific to a certain extent (Aue & Gamon, 2005; Choi et al., 2009). Even though many words and expressions convey the same evaluation across domains (e.g., “excellent”, “terrible”), many others acquire a more precise semantic orientation within a specific domain. For example, features such as size or location (and the lexical expressions that are used to express them) may or may not convey semantic orientation depending on the topic. In Sentiment Analysis (SA), it is critical that domain-specific expressions of sentiment be accounted for (Tan et al., 2007) if the system is to be useful to those who wish to explore the polarity of texts belonging in that domain.
The software tool Lingmotif (Moreno-Ortiz, 2016) will be used to explore a corpus of hotel reviews in the English language. Lingmotif is a lexicon-based, linguistically-motivated, user-friendly, GUI-enabled, multi-platform, Sentiment Analysis desktop application. Lingmotif can perform SA on any type of input texts, regardless of size and topic. The analysis is based on the identification of sentiment-laden words and phrases contained in the application's rich core lexicons, and employs context rules to account for sentiment shifters. It offers easy-to-interpret visual representations of quantitative data (text polarity, sentiment intensity, sentiment profile), as well as a detailed, qualitative analysis of the text in terms of its sentiment. Lingmotif can also take user-provided plugin lexicons in order to account for domain-specific sentiment expression.
In this paper, we describe our procedure to identify domain-specific lexical cues for the domain of user reviews of Spanish hotels. We made use of a recently compiled corpus of reviews from the online travel agency booking site booking.com. This corpus was analyzed entirely with Lingmotif using only its core (i.e., general-language lexicon), and then manually analyzed the results to find errors and omissions produced by the lack of specialized language cues. We then encoded the identified lexical cues as a Lingmotif plugin lexicon and reran the analysis with it. This methodology allowed us, first, to obtain a very concrete description of the expression of sentiment in this domain, and, from a practical perspective, to precisely measure to what extent this expression is domain-dependent.Universidad de Málaga.

Treatment alternatives for the rehabilitation of the posterior edentulous maxilla
Rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla with implant-supported fixed dental prostheses can represent a significant clinical challenge due to limited bone availability and surgical access, among other factors. This review addresses several treatment options to replace missing teeth in posterior maxillary segments, namely the placement of standard implants in conjunction with maxillary sinus floor augmentation, short implants, tilted implants, and distal cantilever extensions. Pertinent technical information and a concise summary of relevant evidence on the reported outcomes of these different therapeutic approaches are presented, along with a set of clinical guidelines to facilitate decision-making processes and optimize the outcomes of therapy
Strategies for the analysis of large social media corpora: sampling and keyword extraction methods
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, social media platforms such as Twitter have been of great importance for users to exchange news, ideas, and perceptions. Researchers from fields such as discourse analysis and the social sciences have resorted to this content to explore public opinion and stance on this topic, and they have tried to gather information through the compilation of large-scale corpora. However, the size of such corpora is both an advantage and a drawback, as simple text retrieval techniques and tools may prove to be impractical or altogether incapable of handling such masses of data. This study provides methodological and practical cues on how to manage the contents of a large-scale social media corpus such as Chen et al. (JMIR Public Health Surveill 6(2):e19273, 2020) COVID-19 corpus. We compare and evaluate, in terms of efficiency and efficacy, available methods to handle such a large corpus. First, we compare different sample sizes to assess whether it is possible to achieve similar results despite the size difference and evaluate sampling methods following a specific data management approach to storing the original corpus. Second, we examine two keyword extraction methodologies commonly used to obtain a compact representation of the main subject and topics of a text: the traditional method used in corpus linguistics, which compares word frequencies using a reference corpus, and graph-based techniques as developed in Natural Language Processing tasks. The methods and strategies discussed in this study enable valuable quantitative and qualitative analyses of an otherwise intractable mass of social media data.Funding for open access publishing: Universidad de Málaga/CBUA.

Mapping of political events related to the COVID-19 pandemic on Twitter using topic modelling and keywords over time.
This research aims to study the relationship between actual, real-world events related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact these events produced on social media. To achieve this objective, we employ topic modelling and keyword extraction techniques. Topic modelling is a Natural Language Processing technique that attempts to identify topics automatically from a collection of documents (Vayansky and Kumar, 2020). This is similar to keyword extraction but, unlike this, topic modelling algorithms return clusters of words that make up the topic. Thus, a second objective is to compare the results of these two methods when it comes to identifying the salient topics in a corpus.
We have used the publicly available and multilingual COVID-19 Twitter dataset collected from January 21, 2020 (and still ongoing) available via the COVID-19-TweetsIDs GitHub repository (Chen, Lerman & Ferrara, 2020). For this study, we will focus on tweets written in English from 2020 and 2021. We limited our study to the years 2020 to 2021, which contains 1 billion tweets (31 billion tokens), and extracted a random, time-stratified sample of 0,1%, which resulted in a total of approximately 1 million tweets (31 million tokens).
In terms of methods, we employed unsupervised machine learning methods for both tasks. For topic modelling we used BERT embeddings and the BERTopic library (Grootendorst, 2022). Our script generates a full list of topics and assigned terms, a coherence score, and several data visualisations, such as topics-over-time graphs, heatmaps, and topic hierarchies. For keyword extraction, we used TextRank (Mihalcea & Tarau, 2004), a language-independent, graph-based ranking model. We then compare results returned by both methods in terms of usefulness and, finally, provide an interpretation of results by relating the extracted topics to the situation of the global pandemic at different stages of the crisis.Universidad de Málaga.
