Prediction of the popularity of online textual snippets gained much attention in recent years. In this paper we investigate some of the factors that contribute to popularity of specific phrases such as Twitter hashtags. We define a new prediction task and propose a linguistically motivated algorithm for accurate prediction of hashtag popularity. Our prediction algorithm successfully models the ...

POWER is an ontology of political processes. It is designed for tracking politicians, political organisations and elections, both in mainstream and social media. In social media, these entities (particularly humans) are frequently named by emergent abbreviations, nonstandardized acronyms, nicknames, metaphoric expressions and neologisms. Politicians are also frequently mentioned in texts by the...

Morphologically complex words, and particularly neoclassical compounds, form more than 60% of the neologisms in the biomedical field. Guessing their definitions and grouping them into semantic classes by means of lexical relations are thus two crucial improvements for handling these words, e.g., for information retrieval, indexing and text understanding applications. This paper describes a morp...

Language in social media is rich with linguistic innovations, most strikingly in the new words and spellings that constantly enter the lexicon. Despite assertions about the power of social media to connect people across the world, we find that many of these neologisms are restricted to geographically compact areas. Even for words that become ubiquituous, their growth in popularity is often geog...

We experimentally investigate communication in sender-receiver games with imperfect incentive alignment. We consider both a priori meaningless messages and messages with pre-established meanings. Under four canonical incentive conditions, we get communication outcomes. However, it is by no means a fait accompli. We observe significant deterioration and recoding of a priori meanings, sucker beha...

Babbling equilibrium An equilibrium in which the 19 sender’s strategy is independent of type and the re20 ceiver’s strategy is independent of signal. 21 Behavior strategy A strategy for an extensive-form game 22 that specifies the probability of taking each action at 23 each information set. 24 Behavioral type A player in a game who is constrained to 25 follow a given strategy. 26 Cheap-talk ga...

This thesis presents an automated system for extracting neologisms using machine learning approaches. The neologisms are extracted from a large temporally annotated corpus containing newspaper articles and blog posts. We find that our system is different from much of the previous research on neologism extraction and justify these differences by relating it to current research in evolutionary li...

The concept of ‘child voice’ is examined through a longitudinal narrative case‐based analysis interviews and drawings with an 8‐year‐old Chilean girl, who was in psychotherapy following sexual abuse, alongside her mother therapists. Prompted by the child's description herself neologism opinista—one has opinions—the encompasses diverse narratives critical moment therapy, illuminating complexity ...

kiarostami’s unfinished cinema emphasizes the importance of audiences’ involvement in a movie by using postmodern images. some essential points of critically reading his, so-called half-created cinema, could be summarized as self-reflexive style, diagrammatical perspectives, in-between narratives,and individual minimalism. the main postmodern achievement of this cinema is focusing on the proces...
