TALN @ Emoji2021
Prof. Horacio Saggion attended this year's 4th International Workshop on Emoji Understanding at Emoji 2021
11.06.2021
The annual Emoji workshop took place this year in conjunction with the 15th Annual AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM). It focused on the fascinating area of applying natural language processing to emoji with their diverse application across cultures, languages and different types of media. Prof. Horacio Saggion (LaSTUS lab, TALN) acted as moderator for a panel discussion on picto-languages (a language based on pictographs rather than abstract symbols), and where comparisons may be drawn with emoji use today.
