    An experimental evaluation of prior polarities in sentiment lexicons
    (IEEE, 2017) Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Solak, Ercan
    We present the results of an experiment to assess the validity of prior polarities available in sentiment lexicons. We designed a ranking task that was elicited through pairwise comparisons and compared the results to those predicted by two popular sentiment lexicons. We find that the experiment results show a moderate level of agreement between the lexicons and human judgments.

    Tweet sentiment analysis for cryptocurrencies
    (IEEE, 2021-10-13) Şaşmaz, Emre; Tek, Faik Boray
    Many traders believe in and use Twitter tweets to guide their daily cryptocurrency trading. In this project, we investigated the feasibility of automated sentiment analysis for cryptocurrencies. For the study, we targeted one cryptocurrency (NEO) altcoin and collected related data. The data collection and cleaning were essential components of the study. First, the last five years of daily tweets with NEO hashtags were obtained from Twitter. The collected tweets were then filtered to contain or mention only NEO. We manually tagged a subset of the tweets with positive, negative, and neutral sentiment labels. We trained and tested a Random Forest classifier on the labeled data where the test set accuracy reached 77%. In the second phase of the study, we investigated whether the daily sentiment of the tweets was correlated with the NEO price. We found positive correlations between the number of tweets and the daily prices, and between the prices of different crypto coins. We share the data publicly.

    Sarcasm detection on news headlines using transformers
    (Springer, 2025-09-07) Gümüşçekiçci, Gizem; Dehkharghani, Rahim
    Sarcasm poses a linguistic challenge due to its figurative nature, where intended meaning contradicts literal interpretation. Sarcasm is prevalent in human communication, affecting interactions in literature, social media, news, e-commerce, etc. Identifying the true intent behind sarcasm is challenging but essential for applications in sentiment analysis. Detecting sarcasm in written text, as a challenging task, has attracted many researchers in recent years. This paper attempts to detect sarcasm in news headlines. Journalists prefer using sarcastic news headlines as they seem much more interesting to the readers. In the proposed methodology, we experimented with Transformers, namely the BERT model, and several Machine and Deep Learning models with different word and sentence embedding methods. The proposed approach inherently requires high-performance resources due to the use of large-scale pre-trained language models such as BERT. We also extended an existing news headlines dataset for sarcasm detection using augmentation techniques and annotating it with hand-crafted features. The proposed methodology could outperform almost all existing sarcasm detection approaches with a 98.86% F1-score when applied to the extended news headlines dataset, which we made publicly available on GitHub.
