SUMMARY:School Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jose Camacho-Collados: Natural Language Processing and Social Media: Challenges, Applications and TweetNLP\n\nSocial media represents a fundamental tool to understand the interactions and progress of society in the 21st century. Despite the large amount of information generated in social media platforms, understanding what is going on is not an easy task, even after the significant NLP progress in recent years. Its multilingual, dynamic, informal and multimodal nature means that standard techniques are seldom optimal.\n\n\n\nIn this talk, I will summarise some of the latest advances on social media processing, and in particular the development of specialised language models. I will also explain our latest project that addresses the temporal and dynamic nature in social media, with evaluation studies involving language modelling, named entity recognition and topic classification.\n\n\n\nFinally, I will present our latest release, TweetNLP (tweetnlp.org), stemming from an international collaboration between academia and industry. TweetNLP is an integrated platform that enables a simple usage of cutting-edge NLP models for social media. I will quickly showcase TweetNLP’s online demo and will discuss a few applications for social media research, in particular for analysing political communication.\n\n\n\nhttps://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/seminars/abstract.php?id=1030
