How Universal are Universal Dependencies? Exploiting Syntax for Multilingual Clause-level Sentiment Detection
This paper investigates clause-level sentiment detection in a multilingual scenario. Aiming at a high-precision, fine-grained, configurable, and non-biased system for practical use cases, we have designed a pipeline method that makes the most of syntactic structures based on Universal Dependencies, avoiding machine-learning approaches that may cause obstacles to our purposes. We achieved high precision in sentiment detection for 17 languages and identified the advantages of common syntactic structures as well as issues stemming from structural differences on Universal Dependencies. In addition to reusable tips for handling multilingual syntax, we provide a parallel benchmarking data set for further research.

Multilingual Irony Detection with Dependency Syntax and Neural Models
This paper presents an in-depth investigation of the effectiveness of dependency-based syntactic features on the irony detection task in a multilingual perspective (English, Spanish, French and Italian). It focuses on th…
Word EmbeddingsTypological Features for Multilingual Delexicalised Dependency Parsing
The existence of universal models to describe the syntax of languages has been debated for decades. The availability of resources such as the Universal Dependencies treebanks and the World Atlas of Language Structures ma…
Dependency ParsingLanguage IdentificationJoint Universal Syntactic and Semantic Parsing
While numerous attempts have been made to jointly parse syntax and semantics, high performance in one domain typically comes at the price of performance in the other. This trade-off contradicts the large body of research…
Semantic ParsingUniversal, Unsupervised (Rule-Based), Uncovered Sentiment Analysis
We present a novel unsupervised approach for multilingual sentiment analysis driven by compositional syntax-based rules. On the one hand, we exploit some of the main advantages of unsupervised algorithms: (1) the interpr…
Sentiment AnalysisUniversal Dependencies: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective on Grammar and Lexicon
Universal Dependencies is an initiative to develop cross-linguistically consistent grammatical annotation for many languages, with the goal of facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning and pars…
