In this work, we take a look at how the Twitter landscape gets constantly shaped by automatically generated content. Twitter bot activity can be traced via network abstractions which, we hypothesize, can be learned through state-of-the-art graph neural network techniques. We employ a large bot database, continuously updated by Twitter, to learn how likely is that a user is mentioned by a bot, as well as, for a hashtag. Thus, we model this likelihood as a link prediction task between the set of users and hashtags. Moreover, we contrast our results by performing similar experiments on a crawled data set of real users.","PeriodicalId":301818,"journal":{"name":"LatinX in AI at Neural Information Processing Systems Conference 2020","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116785202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this paper is to answer this question. The task is challenging because there are several dialects for the Spanish Language. Thus, identically written words could have several meanings and polarities regarding Spanish speaking countries. To tackle this multidialect issue we rely on a transfer learning approach. To do so, we train a BERT language model to “transfer” general features of the Spanish language. Then, we fine-tune the language model to specific dialects. BERT is also used to generate contextual data augmentation aimed to prevent overfitting. Finally, we build the polarity classifier and propose a fine-tuning step using groups of layers. Our design choices allow us to achieve state-of-the-art results regarding multidialect benchmark datasets.","PeriodicalId":301818,"journal":{"name":"LatinX in AI at Neural Information Processing Systems Conference 2020","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117317848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach differs from previous work in that the only input provided is the raster image, as it does not require additional hints or metadata. The method is also designed to be highly tolerant of maps with different art styles, scales, orientations, and cartographic projections. To accomplish this task, we leverage the power of modern OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and geocoding services to generate a series of candidate ground control points (GCP) and then discriminate between them using a combination of clustering algorithms and graph analysis. Experimental results for 359 map images demonstrate the viability of the proposed method. We achieved a precision ranging from 81.19% to 97.56% and a recall from 55.71% to 71.15%.","PeriodicalId":301818,"journal":{"name":"LatinX in AI at Neural Information Processing Systems Conference 2020","volume":"248 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134099659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
