Stress and depression detection on social media aim at the analysis of stress and identification of depression tendency from social media posts, which provide assistance for the early detection of mental health conditions. Existing methods mainly model the mental states of the post speaker implicitly. They also lack the ability to mentalise for complex mental state reasoning. Besides, they are not designed to explicitly capture class-specific features. To resolve the above issues, we propose a mental state Knowledge–aware and Contrastive Network (KC-Net). In detail, we first extract mental state knowledge from a commonsense knowledge base COMET, and infuse the knowledge using Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) to explicitly model the mental states of the speaker. Then we propose a knowledge–aware mentalisation module based on dot-product attention to accordingly attend to the most relevant knowledge aspects. A supervised contrastive learning module is also utilised to fully leverage label information for capturing class-specific features. We test the proposed methods on a depression detection dataset Depression_Mixed with 3165 Reddit and blog posts, a stress detection dataset Dreaddit with 3553 Reddit posts, and a stress factors recognition dataset SAD with 6850 SMS-like messages. The experimental results show that our method achieves new state-of-the-art results on all datasets: 95.4% of F1 scores on Depression_Mixed, 83.5% on Dreaddit and 77.8% on SAD, with 2.07% average improvement. Factor-specific analysis and ablation study prove the effectiveness of all proposed modules, while UMAP analysis and case study visualise their mechanisms. We believe our work facilitates detection and analysis of depression and stress on social media data, and shows potential for applications on other mental health conditions.  相似文献

Most of the previous studies on the semantic analysis of social media feeds have not considered the issue of ambiguity that is associated with slangs, abbreviations, and acronyms that are embedded in social media posts. These noisy terms have implicit meanings and form part of the rich semantic context that must be analysed to gain complete insights from social media feeds. This paper proposes an improved framework for pre-processing of social media feeds for better performance. To do this, the use of an integrated knowledge base (ikb) which comprises a local knowledge source (Naijalingo), urban dictionary and internet slang was combined with the adapted Lesk algorithm to facilitate semantic analysis of social media feeds. Experimental results showed that the proposed approach performed better than existing methods when it was tested on three machine learning models, which are support vector machines, multilayer perceptron, and convolutional neural networks. The framework had an accuracy of 94.07% on a standardized dataset, and 99.78% on localised dataset when used to extract sentiments from tweets. The improved performance on the localised dataset reveals the advantage of integrating the use of local knowledge sources into the process of analysing social media feeds particularly in interpreting slangs/acronyms/abbreviations that have contextually rooted meanings.  相似文献

Due to the harmful impact of fabricated information on social media, many rumor verification techniques have been introduced in recent years. Advanced techniques like multi-task learning (MTL), shared-private models suffer from many strategic limitations that restrict their capability of veracity identification on social media. These models are often reliant on multiple tasks for the primary targeted objective. Even the most recent deep neural network (DNN) models like VRoC, Hierarchical-PSV, StA-HiTPLAN etc. based on VAE, GCN, Transformer respectively with improved modification are able to perform good on veracity identification task but with the help of additional auxiliary information, mostly. However, their rise is still not substantial with respect to the proposed model even though the proposed model is not using any additional information. To come up with an improved DNN model architecture, we introduce globally Discrete Attention Representations from Transformers (gDART). Discrete-Attention mechanism in gDART is capable of capturing multifarious correlations veiled among the sequence of words which existing DNN models including Transformer often overlook. Our proposed framework uses a Branch-CoRR Attention Network to extract highly informative features in branches, and employs Feature Fusion Network Component to identify deep embedded features and use them to make enhanced identification of veracity of an unverified claim. Moreover, to achieve its goal, gDART is not dependent on any costly auxiliary resource but on an unsupervised learning process. Extensive experiments reveal that gDART marks a considerable performance gain in veracity identification task over state-of-the-art models on two real world rumor datasets. gDART reports a gain of 36.76%, 40.85% on standard benchmark metrics.  相似文献

Depression is a widespread and intractable problem in modern society, which may lead to suicide ideation and behavior. Analyzing depression or suicide based on the posts of social media such as Twitter or Reddit has achieved great progress in recent years. However, most work focuses on English social media and depression prediction is typically formalized as being present or absent. In this paper, we construct a human-annotated dataset for depression analysis via Chinese microblog reviews which includes 6,100 manually-annotated posts. Our dataset includes two fine-grained tasks, namely depression degree prediction and depression cause prediction. The object of the former task is to classify a Microblog post into one of 5 categories based on the depression degree, while the object of the latter one is selecting one or multiple reasons that cause the depression from 7 predefined categories. To set up a benchmark, we design a neural model for joint depression degree and cause prediction, and compare it with several widely-used neural models such as TextCNN, BiLSTM and BERT. Our model outperforms the baselines and achieves at most 65+% F1 for depression degree prediction, 70+% F1 and 90+% AUC for depression cause prediction, which shows that neural models achieve promising results, but there is still room for improvement. Our work can extend the area of social-media-based depression analyses, and our annotated data and code can also facilitate related research.  相似文献

Socially similar social media users can be defined as users whose frequently visited locations in their social media histories are similar. Discovering socially similar social media users is important for several applications, such as, community detection, friendship analysis, location recommendation, urban planning, and anomaly user and behavior detection. Discovering socially similar users is challenging due to dataset size and dimensions, spam behaviors of social media users, spatial and temporal aspects of social media datasets, and location sparseness in social media datasets. In the literature, several studies are conducted to discover similar social media users out of social media datasets using spatial and temporal information. However, most of these studies rely on trajectory pattern mining methods or take into account semantic information of social media datasets. Limited number of studies focus on discovering similar users based on their social media location histories. In this study, to discover socially similar users, frequently visited or socially important locations of social media users are taken into account instead of all locations that users visited. A new interest measure, which is based on Levenshtein distance, was proposed to quantify user similarity based on their socially important locations and two algorithms were developed using the proposed method and interest measure. The algorithms were experimentally evaluated on a real-life Twitter dataset. The results show that the proposed algorithms could successfully discover similar social media users based on their socially important locations.  相似文献

Information residing in multiple modalities (e.g., text, image) of social media posts can jointly provide more comprehensive and clearer insights into an ongoing emergency. To identify information valuable for humanitarian aid from noisy multimodal data, we first clarify the categories of humanitarian information, and define a multi-label multimodal humanitarian information identification task, which can adapt to the label inconsistency issue caused by modality independence while maintaining the correlation between modalities. We proposed a Multimodal Humanitarian Information Identification Model that simultaneously captures the Correlation and Independence between modalities (CIMHIM). A tailor-made dataset containing 4,383 annotated text-image pairs was built to evaluate the effectiveness of our model. The experimental results show that CIMHIM outperforms both unimodal and multimodal baseline methods by at least 0.019 in macro-F1 and 0.022 in accuracy. The combination of OCR text, object-level features, and the decision rule based on label correlations enhances the overall performance of CIMHIM. Additional experiments on a similar dataset (CrisisMMD) also demonstrate the robustness of CIMHIM. The task, model, and dataset proposed in this study contribute to the practice of leveraging multimodal social media resources to support effective emergency response.  相似文献

Document-level relation extraction (RE) aims to extract the relation of entities that may be across sentences. Existing methods mainly rely on two types of techniques: Pre-trained language models (PLMs) and reasoning skills. Although various reasoning methods have been proposed, how to elicit learnt factual knowledge from PLMs for better reasoning ability has not yet been explored. In this paper, we propose a novel Collective Prompt Tuning with Relation Inference (CPT-RI) for Document-level RE, that improves upon existing models from two aspects. First, considering the long input and various templates, we adopt a collective prompt tuning method, which is an update-and-reuse strategy. A generic prompt is first encoded and then updated with exact entity pairs for relation-specific prompts. Second, we introduce a relation inference module to conduct global reasoning overall relation prompts via constrained semantic segmentation. Extensive experiments on two publicly available benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed CPT-RI as compared to the baseline model (ATLOP (Zhou et al., 2021)), which improve the 0.57% on the DocRED dataset, 2.20% on the CDR dataset, and 2.30 on the GDA dataset in the F1 score. In addition, further ablation studies also verify the effects of the collective prompt tuning and relation inference.  相似文献

The rapid development of online social media makes Abusive Language Detection (ALD) a hot topic in the field of affective computing. However, most methods for ALD in social networks do not take into account the interactive relationships among user posts, which simply regard ALD as a task of text context representation learning. To solve this problem, we propose a pipeline approach that considers both the context of a post and the characteristics of interaction network in which it is posted. Specifically, our method is divided into pre-training and downstream tasks. First, to capture fine contextual features of the posts, we use Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) as Encoder to generate sentence representations. Later, we build a Relation-Special Network according to the semantic similarity between posts as well as the interaction network structural information. On this basis, we design a Relation-Special Graph Neural Network (RSGNN) to spread effective information in the interaction network and learn the classification of texts. The experiment proves that our method can effectively improve the detection effect of abusive posts over three public datasets. The results demonstrate that injecting interaction network structure into the abusive language detection task can significantly improve the detection results.  相似文献

Sequential recommendation models a user’s historical sequence to predict future items. Existing studies utilize deep learning methods and contrastive learning for data augmentation to alleviate data sparsity. However, these existing methods cannot learn accurate high-quality item representations while augmenting data. In addition, they usually ignore data noise and user cold-start issues. To solve the above issues, we investigate the possibility of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) with contrastive learning for sequential recommendation to balance data sparsity and noise. Specifically, we propose a new framework, Enhanced Contrastive Learning with Generative Adversarial Network for Sequential Recommendation (ECGAN-Rec), which models the training process as a GAN and recommendation task as the main task of the discriminator. We design a sequence augmentation module and a contrastive GAN module to implement both data-level and model-level augmentations. In addition, the contrastive GAN learns more accurate high-quality item representations to alleviate data noise after data augmentation. Furthermore, we propose an enhanced Transformer recommender based on GAN to optimize the performance of the model. Experimental results on three open datasets validate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed model and the ability of the model to balance data noise and data sparsity. Specifically, the improvement of ECGAN-Rec in two evaluation metrics (HR@N and NDCG@N) compared to the state-of-the-art model performance on the Beauty, Sports and Yelp datasets are 34.95%, 36.68%, and 13.66%, respectively. Our implemented model is available via https://github.com/nishawn/ECGANRec-master.  相似文献

Research on automated social media rumour verification, the task of identifying the veracity of questionable information circulating on social media, has yielded neural models achieving high performance, with accuracy scores that often exceed 90%. However, none of these studies focus on the real-world generalisability of the proposed approaches, that is whether the models perform well on datasets other than those on which they were initially trained and tested. In this work we aim to fill this gap by assessing the generalisability of top performing neural rumour verification models covering a range of different architectures from the perspectives of both topic and temporal robustness. For a more complete evaluation of generalisability, we collect and release COVID-RV, a novel dataset of Twitter conversations revolving around COVID-19 rumours. Unlike other existing COVID-19 datasets, our COVID-RV contains conversations around rumours that follow the format of prominent rumour verification benchmarks, while being different from them in terms of topic and time scale, thus allowing better assessment of the temporal robustness of the models. We evaluate model performance on COVID-RV and three popular rumour verification datasets to understand limitations and advantages of different model architectures, training datasets and evaluation scenarios. We find a dramatic drop in performance when testing models on a different dataset from that used for training. Further, we evaluate the ability of models to generalise in a few-shot learning setup, as well as when word embeddings are updated with the vocabulary of a new, unseen rumour. Drawing upon our experiments we discuss challenges and make recommendations for future research directions in addressing this important problem.  相似文献

This paper examines how alternative food networks (AFNs) cultivate engagement on a social media platform. Using the method proposed in Kar and Dwivedi (2020) and Berente et al. (2019), we contribute to theory through combining exploratory text analysis with model testing. Using the theoretical lens of relationship cultivation and social media engagement, we collected 55,358 original Weibo posts by 90 farms and other AFN participants in China and used Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) modeling for topic analysis. We then used the literature to map the topics with constructs and developed a theoretical model. To validate the theoretical model, a panel dataset was constructed on Weibo account and year level, with Chinese city-level yearly economic data included as control variables. A fixed effects panel data regression analysis was performed. The empirical results revealed that posts centered on openness/disclosure, sharing of tasks, and knowledge sharing result in positive levels of social media engagement. Posting about irrelevant information and advertising that uses repetitive wording in multiple posts had negative effects on engagement. Our findings suggest that cultivating engagement requires different relationship strategies, and social media platforms should be leveraged according to the context and the purpose of the social cause. Our research is also among the early studies that use both big data analysis of large quantities of textual data and model validation for theoretical insights.  相似文献

Social sensing has become an emerging and pervasive sensing paradigm to collect timely observations of the physical world from human sensors. In this paper, we study the problem of geolocating abnormal traffic events using social sensing. Our goal is to infer the location (i.e., geographical coordinates) of the abnormal traffic events by exploring the location entities from the content of social media posts. Two critical challenges exist in solving our problem: (i) how to accurately identify the location entities related to the abnormal traffic event from the content of social media posts? (ii) How to accurately estimate the geographic coordinates of the abnormal traffic event from the set of identified location entities? To address the above challenges, we develop a Social sensing based Abnormal Traffic Geolocalization (SAT-Geo) framework to accurately estimate the geographic coordinates of abnormal traffic events by exploring the syntax-based patterns in the content of social media posts and the geographic information associated with the location entities from the social media posts. We evaluate the SAT-Geo framework on three real-world Twitter datasets collected from New York City, Los Angeles, and London. Evaluation results demonstrate that SAT-Geo significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by effectively identifying location entities related to the abnormal traffic events and accurately estimating the geographic coordinates of the events.  相似文献

In this era, the proliferating role of social media in our lives has popularized the posting of the short text. The short texts contain limited context with unique characteristics which makes them difficult to handle. Every day billions of short texts are produced in the form of tags, keywords, tweets, phone messages, messenger conversations social network posts, etc. The analysis of these short texts is imperative in the field of text mining and content analysis. The extraction of precise topics from large-scale short text documents is a critical and challenging task. The conventional approaches fail to obtain word co-occurrence patterns in topics due to the sparsity problem in short texts, such as text over the web, social media like Twitter, and news headlines. Therefore, in this paper, the sparsity problem is ameliorated by presenting a novel fuzzy topic modeling (FTM) approach for short text through fuzzy perspective. In this research, the local and global term frequencies are computed through a bag-of-words (BOW) model. To remove the negative impact of high dimensionality on the global term weighting, the principal component analysis is adopted; thereafter the fuzzy c-means algorithm is employed to retrieve the semantically relevant topics from the documents. The experiments are conducted over the three real-world short text datasets: the snippets dataset is in the category of small dataset whereas the other two datasets, Twitter and questions, are the bigger datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed approach discovered the topics more precisely and performed better as compared to other state-of-the-art baseline topic models such as GLTM, CSTM, LTM, LDA, Mix-gram, BTM, SATM, and DREx+LDA. The performance of FTM is also demonstrated in classification, clustering, topic coherence and execution time. FTM classification accuracy is 0.95, 0.94, 0.91, 0.89 and 0.87 on snippets dataset with 50, 75, 100, 125 and 200 number of topics. The classification accuracy of FTM on questions dataset is 0.73, 0.74, 0.70, 0.68 and 0.78 with 50, 75, 100, 125 and 200 number of topics. The classification accuracies of FTM on snippets and questions datasets are higher than state-of-the-art baseline topic models.  相似文献

With the rapid development of social media and big data technology, user’s sequence behavior information can be well recorded and preserved on different media platforms. It is crucial to model the user preference through mining their sequential behaviors. The goal of sequential recommendation is to predict what a user may interact with in the next moment based on the user’s historical record of interactive sequence. However, existing sequential recommendation methods generally adopt a negative sampling mechanism (e.g. random and uniform sampling) for the pairwise learning, which brings the defect of insufficient training to the model, and decrease the evaluation performance of the entire model. Therefore, we propose a Non-sampling Self-attentive Sequential Recommendation (NSSR) model that combines non-sampling mechanism and self-attention mechanism. Under the premise of ensuring the efficient training of the model, NSSR model takes all pairs in the training set as training samples, so as to achieve the goal of fully training the model. Specifically, we take the interactive sequence as the current user representation, and propose a new loss function to implement the non-sampling training mechanism. Finally, the state-of-the-art result is achieved on three public datasets, Movielens-1M, Amazon Beauty and Foursquare_TKY, and the recommendation performance increase by about 29.3%, 25.7% and 42.1% respectively.  相似文献

Understanding the effects of gender-specific emotional responses on information sharing behaviors are of great importance for swift, clear, and accurate public health crisis communication, but remains underexplored. This study fills this gap by investigating gender-specific anxiety- and anger-related emotional responses and their effects on the virality of crisis information by creatively drawing on social role theory, integrated crisis communication modeling, and text mining. The theoretical model is tested using two datasets (Changsheng vaccine crisis with 2,423,074 textual data and COVID-19 pandemic with 893,930 textual data) collected from Weibo, a leading social media platform in China. Females express significantly high anxiety and anger levels (p value<0.001) during the Changsheng fake vaccine crisis, while express significantly higher levels of anxiety during COVID-19 than males (p value<0.001), but not anger (p value=0.13). Regression analysis suggests that the virality of crisis information is significantly strengthened when the level of anger in posts of males is high or the level of anxiety in posts of females is high for both crises. However, such gender-specific virality differences of anger/anxiety expressions are violated once females have large numbers of followers (influencers). Furthermore, the gender-specific emotional effects on crisis information are more significantly enhanced for male influencers than female influencers. This study contributes to the literature on gender-specific emotional characteristics of crisis communication on social media and provides implications for practice.  相似文献

Argument mining (AM) aims to automatically generate a graph that represents the argument structure of a document. Most previous AM models only pay attention to a single argument component (AC) to classify the type of the AC or a pair of ACs to identify and classify the argumentative relation (AR) between the two ACs. These models ignore the impact of global argument structure of the documents, which is important, especially in some highly structured genres such as scientific papers, where the process of argumentation is relatively fixed. Inspired by this, we propose a novel two-stage model which leverages global structure information to support AM. The first stage uses a multi-turn question-answering model to incrementally generate an initial argumentative graph that identifies relations among ACs. At each turn, all ACs related to the query AC are generated simultaneously, such that the sibling global information between the answer ACs is considered. In addition, the partially constructed graph is used as global structure information to support the extension of the graph with additional ACs. After the whole initial graph structure has been determined, the second stage assigns semantic types to both the ACs and ARs among them, leveraging information from this initial graph as global structure information. We test the proposed methods on two scientific datasets (one is the AbstRCT dataset including 659 abstracts about cancer research and the other is the SciARG dataset that consists of 225 computer linguistic abstracts and 285 biomedical abstracts) and a student essay dataset PE with 402 essays. Our experiments show that our model improves the state-of-the-art performance on two scientific datasets for different AM subtasks, with average improvements of 1%, 2.41%, 1.1% for the ACC, ARI and ARC task respectively on the AbstRCT dataset, and 2.36%, 1.84%, 8.87% for the ACC, ARI and ARC task on the SciARG dataset. Our model also achieves comparative results on the PE datasets: 87.7% of F1 scores for the ACC task, 81.4% for the ARI task and 78.8% for the ARC task.  相似文献

Few-shot intent recognition aims to identify user’s intent from the utterance with limited training data. A considerable number of existing methods mainly rely on the generic knowledge acquired on the base classes to identify the novel classes. Such methods typically ignore the characteristics of each meta task itself, resulting in the inability to make full use of limited given samples when classifying unseen classes. To deal with such issues, we propose a Contrastive learning-based Task Adaptation model (CTA) for few-shot intent recognition. In detail, we leverage contrastive learning to help achieve task adaptation and make full use of the limited samples of novel classes. First, a self-attention layer is employed in the task adaptation module, which aims to establish interactions between samples of different categories so that new representations are task-specific rather than relying entirely on the base classes. Then, the contrastive-based loss functions and the semantics of the label name are respectively used for reducing the similarity between sample representations in different categories while increasing it in the same categories. Experimental results on a public dataset OOS verify the effectiveness of our proposal by beating the competitive baselines in terms of accuracy. Besides, we conduct the cross-domain experiments on three datasets, i.e., OOS, SNIPS as well as ATIS. We find that CTA gains obvious improvements in terms of accuracy in all cross-domain experiments, indicating that it has a better generalization ability than other competitive baselines in both cross-domain and single-domain settings.  相似文献

We propose a CNN-BiLSTM-Attention classifier to classify online short messages in Chinese posted by users on government web portals, so that a message can be directed to one or more government offices. Our model leverages every bit of information to carry out multi-label classification, to make use of different hierarchical text features and the labels information. In particular, our designed method extracts label meaning, the CNN layer extracts local semantic features of the texts, the BiLSTM layer fuses the contextual features of the texts and the local semantic features, and the attention layer selects the most relevant features for each label. We evaluate our model on two public large corpuses, and our high-quality handcraft e-government multi-label dataset, which is constructed by the text annotation tool doccano and consists of 29920 data points. Experimental results show that our proposed method is effective under common multi-label evaluation metrics, achieving micro-f1 of 77.22%, 84.42%, 87.52%, and marco-f1 of 77.68%, 73.37%, 83.57% on these three datasets respectively, confirming that our classifier is robust. We conduct ablation study to evaluate our label embedding method and attention mechanism. Moreover, case study on our handcraft e-government multi-label dataset verifies that our model integrates all types of semantic information of short messages based on different labels to achieve text classification.  相似文献

Stance detection is to distinguish whether the text’s author supports, opposes, or maintains a neutral stance towards a given target. In most real-world scenarios, stance detection needs to work in a zero-shot manner, i.e., predicting stances for unseen targets without labeled data. One critical challenge of zero-shot stance detection is the absence of contextual information on the targets. Current works mostly concentrate on introducing external knowledge to supplement information about targets, but the noisy schema-linking process hinders their performance in practice. To combat this issue, we argue that previous studies have ignored the extensive target-related information inhabited in the unlabeled data during the training phase, and propose a simple yet efficient Multi-Perspective Contrastive Learning Framework for zero-shot stance detection. Our framework is capable of leveraging information not only from labeled data but also from extensive unlabeled data. To this end, we design target-oriented contrastive learning and label-oriented contrastive learning to capture more comprehensive target representation and more distinguishable stance features. We conduct extensive experiments on three widely adopted datasets (from 4870 to 33,090 instances), namely SemEval-2016, WT-WT, and VAST. Our framework achieves 53.6%, 77.1%, and 72.4% macro-average F1 scores on these three datasets, showing 2.71% and 0.25% improvements over state-of-the-art baselines on the SemEval-2016 and WT-WT datasets and comparable results on the more challenging VAST dataset.  相似文献
