    • Sentiment Analysis for Fake News Detection 

      Alonso, Miguel A.; Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos; Vilares, Jesús (MDPI, 2021)
      [Abstract] In recent years, we have witnessed a rise in fake news, i.e., provably false pieces of information created with the intention of deception. The dissemination of this type of news poses a serious threat to cohesion ...
    • Sentiment analysis for reviews and microtexts based on lexico-syntactic knowledge 

      Vilares, David (BCS-IRSG, 2013)
      [Abstract]: We describe two methods to perform sentiment analysis both on long and short texts written in Spanish language. We first present an unsupervised method based on dependency parsing which calculates the semantic ...
    • Sentiment Analysis on Monolingual, Multilingual and Code-Switching Twitter Corpora 

      Vilares, David; Alonso, Miguel A.; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2015)
      [Abstract]: We address the problem of performing po- larity classification on Twitter over differ- ent languages, focusing on English and Spanish, comparing three techniques: (1) a monolingual model which knows ...
    • Sequence Labeling Parsing by Learning across Representations 

      Strzyz, Michalina; Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2019-07)
      [Absctract]: We use parsing as sequence labeling as a common framework to learn across constituency and dependency syntactic abstractions. To do so, we cast the problem as multitask learning (MTL). First, we show that ...
    • Sequence Tagging for Fast Dependency Parsing 

      Strzyz, Michalina; Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (2019)
      [Abstract] Dependency parsing has been built upon the idea of using parsing methods based on shift-reduce or graph-based algorithms in order to identify binary dependency relations between the words in a sentence. In this ...
    • Supervised polarity classification of Spanish tweets based on linguistic knowledge 

      Vilares, David; Alonso, Miguel A.; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Association for Computing Machinery, 2013)
      [Abstract]: We describe a system that classifies the polarity of Spanish tweets. We adopt a hybrid approach, which combines machine learning and linguistic knowledge acquired by means of NLP. We use part-of-speech tags, ...
    • Supervised sentiment analysis in multilingual environments 

      Vilares, David; Alonso, Miguel A.; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Elsevier, 2017-05)
      [Abstract]: This article tackles the problem of performing multilingual polarity classification on Twitter, comparing three techniques: (1) a multilingual model trained on a multilingual dataset, obtained by fusing existing ...
