Using state-of-the-art Emotion Detection Models in a Crisis Communication Context Universiteit Antwerpen
Times of crisis are usually associated with highly emotional experiences, which often result in emotionally charged communication. This is especially the case on social media. Identifying the emotional climate on social media is imperative in the context of crisis communication, e.g., in view of shaping crisis response strategies. However, the sheer volume of social media data often makes manual oversight impossible. In this paper, we therefore ...
Hoe sgrijf je die dude zn naam? / Hoe schrijfde dieje dude zijne naam? De dynamiek van digi-taal in de online communicatie van jongeren Universiteit Antwerpen
Deze bijdrage focust op het Nederlands dat Vlaamse en Nederlandse jongeren hanteren als ze online communiceren, en meer bepaald op het hele continuüm van taalvariëteiten dat we erin aantreffen, op de tolerantie voor spellingsfouten en op sociale patronen in de online schrijfstijl van jongeren.
Introduction Universiteit Antwerpen
The research paradigm of alternation studies is forming an increasingly large share of the empirical foundations of usage-based linguistics. As the paradigm is essentially an amalgamation of research traditions from various subfields of linguistics, including sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, and construction grammar, it sports various definitions of the concept of “alternation” and various ways of conducting an ...
Communicating across educational boundaries Universiteit Antwerpen
This paper studies linguistic accommodation patterns in a large corpus of private online conversations produced by Flemish secondary school students. We use Poisson models to examine whether the teenagers adjust their writing style depending on their interlocutor's educational profile, while also taking into account the extent to which these adaptation patterns are influenced by the authors' own educational background or by other aspects of ...
Studies in conversational AI Universiteit Antwerpen
This thesis studies the evolving landscape of conversational AI. The main research objective is to improve the conversational abilities of conversational agents, with a focus on integrating real-time knowledge and expanding multilingual capabil- ities. The thesis investigates how to incorporate external knowledge into conversational agents without the need for retraining the entire model. This aspect is crucial as it deals with the dynamic ...
Towards a large scale analysis of claims Universiteit Antwerpen
In recent decades, many theoreticians have argued that we should pay attention to the claims of representation politicians make about groups in society. Nevertheless, despite recent advances on this topic, empirical research on politicians’ claims of representation remains relatively scant and mostly limited to case studies and manual annotation. Therefore, we develop a reusable Natural Language Processing (NLP) system to automatically classify ...
Role of morphology in spelling performance and spelling errors Universiteit Antwerpen
The effects of discourse coherence on the persistence of sentence structures Universiteit Antwerpen
We studied the role of discourse coherence relations on structure formulation in sentence production by examining whether a connective, an essential signal of coherence relations, modulates the tendency for speakers to reuse sentence structures (i.e., structural priming). We further examined three possible modulating factors: the type of connectives (additive vs. adversative connective), event similarity (similar event vs. different event), and ...
