Authors: Dubey Archana , Suryawanshi Sindhu , Mishra S. K.
Published: May 2021

Sulphur is such a complete Homoeopathic medicine that it is somewhat difcult to tell where to begin.
Sulphur seems to contain a likeness of all the sickness of men and a beginner on reading over the proving
of Sulphur might naturally think that he would need no other remedy, as the image of all sicknesses seems to be contained in
Sulphur.
Aim: To study the symptoms of Sulphur in clinical practice and identifying its true totality after obtaining results.
Objectives:
Ÿ To verify the symptoms of Sulphur in clinical practice.
Ÿ To restore the health of the sick individual.
Study design :
Ÿ Prospective
Ÿ Observational
Ÿ Open-label
Inclusion criteria :
Ÿ Patients in all age group
Ÿ Both gender
Material & Methods: In this study 30 cases were selected from the OPDs of Government Homoeopathic Medical College &
Hospital, Bhopal. Case taking was done for each case as instructed by Dr. Hahnemann. Medicine was selected after
analysis/evaluation of symptoms and forming the prescribing totality. Help of computer repertorization was also taken by using
RADAR-synthesis repertory. Follow-up was done as per the need in each case; three consecutive follow-ups are studied for
further observation. For outcome assessment 'Patient Global assessment Scale' was used to get the data for analysis.
Results: The results have shown that maximum number of cases has shown moderate improvement with the treatment that is
60%, and 27% of cases has shown marked improvement, only 4 cases were recorded as mild improvement. There is no case
which has shown no signicant improvement.

study, based on repetition in many patients.
Construction and Performance Evaluation of a Solar Powered Maize Sheller for Rural Farmers
Authors: Lawal M.O
Published: May 2021

The objective of this work is to construct a simple and affordable maize shelling machine that is powered by solar energy. The method adopted involves the selection of a direct current (DC) operated motor which consumes less power and is locally available. Based on the available motor, the mechanical part is fabricated to work with the motor. Direct coupling method is adopted between the motor and the mechanical part. The improvement in this work is the introduction of a sustainable and affordable powering method. Design calculation has suggested the use of an 80-watt solar panel. A battery of 18Ah capacity is used as storage to cushion the effect of the intermittent nature of the sun. Test carried out on the sheller shows that it has the ability to shell 17.25 kg of kernel in one hour. It has also been shown that the developed device has an efficiency of 89.61%. The total production cost of this sheller (together with the solar power system) is approximately sixty thousand naira (N60,000.00/$167).
Effects of Abandoned Buildings on the Environment in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria
Authors: Ibrahim R.B.
Published: May 2021

The study examined effects of abandoned buildings on the environment in five selected political wards in Osogbo, Osun State Nigeria. The study identified the types and causes of abandoned buildings in the study area. It assessed the incidence (nature) of abandoned buildings; conditions of environment in the abandoned buildings; and analyses spatial variations in the incidence of abandoned buildings in the study area. Data were obtained through physical enumeration of abandoned building. Also total of 202 structured questionnaires were randomly administered to residents in the study area. Descriptive statistics (mean) and inferential statistics (ANOVA) were used to analyse the data obtained. Findings reveals that death of owner (mean weighed value = 4.316), improper management (mean weighed value = 4.125), lack of fund (mean weighed value = 4.070), and dispute (mean weighed value = 3.935) are the major causes of abandonment of buildings across the study area. Most of the incidence of abandoned buildings is residential with an average of 3 buildings in each area. This implies that an average of 3 residential buildings were abandoned in each area across the study area. Also the physical enumeration shows that 173, 113 and 111 are the total numbers of bungalow, storey building and Brazilian buildings abandoned respectively across the study area. Obscenity (mean weighed value = 4.094), crime (mean weighed value = 4.030), and pollution (mean weighed value = 3.949) are the major environmental effects of abandoned buildings across the study area. Results from Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) indicated that there is significant spatial variations in the incidence of abandoned buildings. The study concluded by recommending among others, that buildings prone to abandonment as a result of death of owner should be quickly assigned to the heirs. In the absence of heirs, the buildings should be in care of community leaders who will protect it from environmental consequences.

Robust Tensor PCA based Background/Foreground Separation in Noisy Videos and Its Applications in Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Shen Bo , Kamath Rakesh R , choo hahn , Kong Zhenyu
Published: May 2021

Background/foreground separation is one of the most fundamental tasks in computer vision, especially for video data. Robust PCA (RPCA) and its tensor extension, namely, Robust Tensor PCA (RTPCA), provide an effective framework for background/foreground separation by decomposing the data into low-rank and sparse components, which contain the background and the foreground (moving objects), respectively. However, in real-world applications, the video data is contaminated with noise. For example, in metal additive manufacturing (AM), the processed X-ray video to study melt pool dynamics is very noisy. RPCA and RTPCA are not able to separate the background, foreground, and noise simultaneously. As a result, the noise will contaminate the background or the foreground or both. There is a need to remove the noise from the background and foreground. To achieve the three terms decomposition, a smooth sparse RTPCA (SS-RTPCA) model is proposed to decompose the data into static background, smooth foreground, and noise, respectively. Specifically, the static background is modeled by the low-rank tucker decomposition, the smooth foreground (moving objects) is modeled by the spatio-temporal continuity, which is enforced by the total variation regularization, and the noise is modeled by the sparsity, which is enforced by the `1 norm. An efficient algorithm based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is implemented to solve the proposed model. Extensive experiments on both simulated and real data demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches for background/foreground separation in noisy cases.

In this paper, we propose a precoded faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling technique for time-domain single-carrier index modulated (IM) symbol transmission. More precisely, eigenvalue decomposition precoding is adopted for the FTN transmission of data bits modulated by single-carrier time-domain IM. While the FTN scheme increases the spectral efficiency and data rate by packing more transmit symbols per block duration than those defined in the Nyquist criterion, time-domain IM works towards the same objective while maintaining symbol sparsity. We analytically derive the constrained capacity of the proposed system. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better bit error ratio (BER) performance over the conventional FTN-IM scheme, particularly for the scenario of a higher packing ratio. In the proposed scheme, $2.5$-dB performance gain is observed at the BER of 10-4, employing the packing ratio of $0.7$ and the roll-off factor of $0.5$ in a channel-uncoded scenario.

Economic and social indicators of solidarity pension insurance in Ukraine
Authors: BEZPALENKO Olha
Published: May 2021

Problems of pension provision, in particular, solidarity pension insurance, are under constant concern of scientists, the majority of the working population, pensioners, government officials and other stakeholders. The main issues of discussion are: social justice and insecurity, material security, financial imbalance and insolvency of the pension budget and others. The solution of these issues and the adoption of the appropriate decisions for further reform of the pension system should be based on a detailed assessment of various socio-economic factors.
The aim of this work is to substantiate the problem of financial balance of the Pension Fund budget, generalize the impact of economic and social indicators on the level of solidarity pensions in Ukraine, and identify key aspects for solving urgent issues of reforming the national pension system.
Ukrainian scientists have studied the following: the analysis of revenues and expenditures of the Pension Fund budget, the impact of certain factors on the development of pension insurance, foreign experience of pension provision and the possibility of its application in the pension system of Ukraine. The system of state pension insurance needs a deeper assessment, outlining the main directions of its further development and solving urgent issues in this area.
The paper uses a systematic method to determine the role and place of pensions in social protection of the population; methods of synthesis, analysis, comparison to consider the demographic situation of the population, the number of retirees, the size of pensions, individual indicators of income; factor analysis in order to determine the influence of factors on the development of the solidarity pension system; graphical method for displaying the structure of budget revenues of the Pension Fund of Ukraine and its dynamics; hypothetical-deductive method for formulating conclusions and further prospects for the development of the national pension system.
There were proposed the following main directions for solving the problems of solidarity pension insurance: joining the accumulative component to the existing solidarity pension system and their full functioning; reducing budget deficit of the Pension Fund due to the transfer of non-insurance functions of the solidarity system to the State budget; revision of the formula for calculating pensions and establishing closer relationship between insurance contributions and insurance payments; improving employment policy and investment policy in the pension assets management.

Published: May 2021

В статье раскрывается актуальность исследования информационной безопасности, а также рассматриваются внешние и внутренние угрозы для ее обеспечения, анализируются возникающие сложности. С данным видом безопасности связана позитивная модель развития общества, поэтому не случайно наиболее важной задачей является создание полноценной теории информационной безопасности. Без этого невозможно вести речь об эффективном устранении ряда негативных последствий информатизации общества. Важной задачей является обеспечение защиты личности и общества в целом от информационно-психологических, деструктивных угроз, в том числе преодоление интернет- и других видов информационной зависимости.
Теория информационной безопасности — составная часть социальной психологии безопасности. Для ее полного оформления предстоит еще немало сделать как в теоретическом, так и прикладном плане. Прежде всего имеется в виду создание национальной информационной платформы. В настоящее время существует настоятельная потребность в развитии компетентности в области информационной безопасности не только среди профессионалов, но и различных групп населения.

The article focuses on a relevant issue of investigating information security.
It treats internal and external threats that affect information security and problems that are associated with information security retention. Effective information security policy is a prerequisite for efficient social development, therefore it is essential to develop a full-fledged information security theory, otherwise it is impossible to efficiently eliminate negative effects of community informatization. It is essential to ensure information security of an individual and society, to protect people and community from destructive informational and psychological threats, to help people overcome their internet addiction and other disorders related to information technology addiction.
Information security theory is a branch of social security psychology. It requires a lot of theoretical and applied research. The creation of a nationwide information platform is the first step to make. Nowadays there is an urgent necessity to improve information security competence of both cyber security specialists and laymen.
LINGUOREPRESENTATION OF IMAGES OF HEAVENLY LIGHTS IN B.-I. ANTONYCH’S POETIC TEXTS
Authors: SENKOVYCH Olha
Published: May 2021

The paradigm of describing celestial bodies sun, moon, stars is important for understanding the national-linguistic picture of the world.
An objective picture of the world in the poetry of B.-I. Antonych is represented by stable associative-semantic connections of the celestial bodies – time (sun –dawn, day, light time of day; moon, stars – evening, night, dark time of day). The individual poetic picture of the world is commensurate with the objective also in the artistic statement of the property of celestial bodies to radiate light, to be sources of radiance. The corresponding archetypes ‘light’, ‘radiance’, ‘brilliance’ determine the semantics and value of numerous author’s landscape descriptions and psychological-mood metaphors.
A number of recorded metaphors represent the folklore-mythological tradition of describing celestial bodies by a visually perceptible sign of shape (sun– circle, wheel, sphere; moon – sickle, horned, horseshoe, circle), color (sun – gold, red; moon – yellow, gold, silver, red; star – silver, gold). These traditional poetic models are supplemented by individual authorial interpretations.
Productive author’s models of describing the realities of the sun, moon, and stars include domestication, anthropomorphization and natural morphization.
It is established that the contextual uses of celestial bodies in the poetry of B.-I. Antonych is mostly correlated with direct, nominative meaning or actualized in the folklore-mythological key. Also, the concretely nominative and cultural-aesthetic information implicitly embedded in them is often rethought and actively expanded. These nominations actively form new lexical-associative complexes of meanings, new connotations caused by individual experience, ideas, feelings, emotions of the author, his personal creative and aesthetic preferences.
GRAPHICAL PARAMETER OF UKRAINIAN RHYME
Authors: MOVCHUN Larysa
Published: May 2021

This study deals with the classification of Ukrainian rhymes based on visual and phonic signs.
Ukrainian orthography is based on the phonemic principle, taking into account morphological, traditional and differential. It is well adapted to reproduce the consonance of words in a letter, so predominantly the reader does not experience the feeling of splitting the image of the rhyme. Despite the clarity of the concepts ‘visual’ and ‘phonic’, the terms ‘visual rhyme’ and ‘phonic rhyme’ defined in the scientific literature differently.
Our purpose was to study the means of visual representation of rhyming words and analyze the degree of coincidence of the visual images of the rhyme components. Mainly the aesthetic intention is an impulse of employing graphic techniques that estrange visual images of components from each other or bind them on the basis of orthographic deviation. The authors of modern poetry actively apply foreign letter inclusions, rows of dots, figures and other non-alphabetic signs.
Analysed material gave grounds for the rhymes distribution to phonic, formally phonic, phonic-and-visual, visual-and-phonic, formally visual. In phonic rhymes, the relative parts of the rhyming words are not identical in the letter. Formally phonic group includes rhymes with non-literal or foreign-literal components. Phonic-and-visual rhymes takes into account the cases of traditional notation of some letters. The vowels of these rhymes are identical. Visual-and-phonic rhymes expect complete correspondence between the vowels and the letters of the correlative parts of the rhyming words. Formally visual rhymes cover cases of visual identity of correlated parts of the rhyming words and dissimilarity of vowels.
A refined rhyme classification will help to originate a modernized general systematics of Ukrainian rhymes.
A Pluralidade institucional como ferramenta política na América do Sul: sobreposições organizacionais e fragmentação regional
Authors: Mariano Karina Lilia Pasquariello , Ribeiro Clarissa Correa Neto
Published: May 2021

Este artigo analisa os significados da pluralidade de organizações regionais na América do Sul para a construção de um projeto de região, com o objetivo de refletir acerca das implicações do chamado overlapping regionalism, ou regionalismo sobreposto, demonstrando suas contribuições para as crises institucionais, a estagnação e o colapso de alguns processos, atentando para a possibilidade de desintegração, ou fragmentação. O pressuposto aqui apresentado é de que a profusão de processos de regionalismo na América do Sul, e sua consequente sobreposição de atuações e afiliações entre os blocos, especialmente no que diz respeito às experiências das primeiras décadas do século XXI, tenderia a se perpetuar, uma vez que, considerados os processos, atores e agendas, as sobreposições serviriam como ferramenta aos interesses políticos dos governos da região, que podem priorizar suas atuações entre os projetos, de acordo com as estratégias daquele determinado momento, evitando o aprofundamento e os consequentes constrangimentos de um projeto integrado. Buscamos demonstrar esse aspecto a partir da ótica dos principais processos de regionalismo da América do Sul, como Mercado Comum do Sul (Mercosul), União de Nações Sul-Americanas (Unasul), Comunidade Andina (CAN) e Aliança do Pacífico, e de seus desdobramentos, a partir das implicações das sobreposições organizacionais, tendo em vista o contexto de crise atual.

Authors: Carvalho Patrícia Nasser de
Published: May 2021

O regionalismo é considerado um dos fenômenos mais relevantes nas relações internacionais a partir de meados do século XX, apesar de ter passado por crescentes questionamentos e eventuais crises nas primeiras décadas do século XXI. Fundamentado em um procedimento metodológico de revisão bibliográfica e documental, no levantamento de dados e por análise gráfica e hermenêutica internacionalista, com base em economia política internacional e relações internacionais e na interpretação de dados, este artigo tem o objetivo de discutir as causas da crise dos esquemas regionais sul-americanos a partir da década de 2010. Com base nos resultados obtidos no texto, conclui-se que os diferentes esquemas regionais da União de Nações Sul-Americanas (Unasul), da Aliança Bolivariana para os Povos da Nossa América (Alba), do Mercado Comum do Sul (Mercosul) e da Comunidade Andina de Nações (CAN), assim como compartilham similitudes político-ideológicas conjunturais na conformação de projetos regionais de segunda e terceira “ondas”, compartilham algumas convergências conjunturais e estruturais para explicar os contextos de crise do regionalismo sul-americano, apesar de as tendências de fragmentação e desintegração serem dispares entre os blocos.
Disseminação da Covid-19 nas faixas de fronteira terrestre e litorânea do Brasil

Published: May 2021

Atualmente, o Sars-COV-2 se encontra disseminado por uma vasta área geográfica no mundo. A trajetória da pandemia após cruzar as fronteiras do território brasileiro (terrestre e litorânea), acompanhada de uma avaliação das medidas adotadas para sua contenção e os principais conflitos observados e apresentados no presente estudo, cumpre o objetivo de apontar questões atuais e futuras de políticas públicas para o enfrentamento da pandemia nas fronteiras brasileiras. Os resultados das análises realizadas demonstram que as áreas de maior concentração e adensamento populacional urbanos foram as mais afetadas pela contaminação do vírus. No entanto, a Covid-19 não poupou municípios menores, o que se observa pelo seu alastramento no território seguindo os caminhos da mobilidade rodoviária, fluvial e aérea no interior do Brasil. Sobre seu reflexo na área de fronteira, observa-se tanto um conflito interfederativo, com um quadro de descompasso entre medidas do governo federal e unidades subnacionais, quanto a inexistência de diálogos e acordos com os países vizinhos. Como sugestões, apontam-se a criação de instrumentos, protocolos, medidas e mecanismos para o enfrentamento da crise da pandemia da Covid-19 em áreas de fronteira terrestre e litorânea do Brasil.

Published: May 2021

Purpose – examine the European Union (EU) integrated political crisis response system, within the scope of the EU common security and defence policy and the present value of negotiations as a tool. Research methodology – a systematic analysis of the scientific literature and descriptive methods were applied to analyse actual and recent theoretical scientific work on integrating the European Union security and defence policy. We were discussing the concept of security from the theoretical perspective of constructivism, presenting the essential features. The empirical part of the work proves how discourse theory may help develop both negotiations and constructivism methodology. Findings – Negotiation theory play an important role in crisis management, developed proposals for the theory and methodology of negotiations. Research limitations – research does not cover negotiations in the context of military actions; the research examines the only civil empirical case of COVID-19 crises. Practical implications – presented conclusions show how the development of negotiations theory may substantially increase responsiveness to any EU crisis. Originality/Value – this study as interdisciplinary combined mixed methodologies: constructivism methodology of threat identification was compared with discourse theory (Austin’s) speech act.

Les deux réceptions du De musica de Plutarque par Pierre-Jean Burette et Jean-Jacques Rousseau interrogent de deux manières dissemblables le rapport qu’entretiennent les découvertes musicales originaires et leur appropriation sensible à la faveur de l’usage. Pensé comme habitude par Burette, l’usage permettra d’historiciser l’origine sans radicaliser la singularité des circonstances. En refusant de conférer à l’usage une telle souplesse, au nom d’une dégénérescence irréversible de l’histoire musicale, Rousseau historicisera l’origine au point d’une non reproductibilité des circonstances.
Démontrer Dieu : Leibniz et l’argument de la création continuée
Authors: Rateau Paul
Published: May 2021

Leibniz admet la thèse de la création continuée. Le but de cet article est de montrer les raisons pour lesquelles, à ses yeux, les tentatives de Descartes et de Weigel pour s’en servir comme preuve de l’existence de Dieu ont échoué et ce qui, dans sa propre métaphysique, empêche l’élaboration d’une démonstration pleinement satisfaisante sur son fondement. Il n’est pas sûr en effet que Leibniz soit parvenu à concilier parfaitement la nécessité de la dépendance permanente des créatures à l’égard de leur créateur – qui requiert son action continuelle – et l’exigence de l’autonomie causale des substances finies.
L’exégèse philosophique chez Philon d’Alexandrie
Authors: Vasiliu Anca
Published: May 2021

L’article tente de saisir le rapport entre exégèse, rhétorique et philosophie dans les textes de Philon à partir d’un angle particulier : l’usage philonien croisé des images bibliques et du rôle spécifique assigné à l’image dans la pensée hellénique. S’il y a chez l’Alexandrin une réflexion sur les vertus du langage déployée entre l’exégèse des textes bibliques et le recours constant aux modèles théoriques de la philosophie, cette réflexion vise explicitement à établir une science, la théologie rationnelle, légitimée par sa fondation sur la lettre biblique et validée en même temps par une démarche et un lexique spécifiquement philosophiques. Or la pratique des images s’inscrit dans cette tentative philonienne de fonder la réflexion théologique sur les rapports de la langue avec les facultés sensibles et intellectives, depuis les figures et les concepts avec lesquels travaille le langage philosophique jusqu’à l’établissement d’un savoir à partir du paradigme des vertus épiphaniques dont la lettre biblique est pourvue.
Les deux voix du grec. Heidegger et le « livre des livres »
Authors: Blanchet Vincent
Published: May 2021

Depuis la publication des Cahiers noirs, percer l’énigme du rapport entretenu par Heidegger avec le christianisme et le judaïsme constitue une tâche d’une urgence nouvelle. Si l’hostilité et la concurrence caractérisent cette relation, il s’agit d’en bien déterminer l’enjeu autant que l’arène. Entre la pensée de l’Être et la Parole de Dieu, les pages qui précèdent s’efforcent de montrer qu’il y va pour Heidegger d’un affrontement autour de la vérité elle-même. Le lieu de cette lutte s’avère alors la langue grecque, où s’est une fois pour toutes inscrit le commencement de la question de l’être et en laquelle s’est finalement traduit l’appel de Dieu. Il s’agit alors de présenter la façon dont Heidegger aura conçu l’événement de cette rencontre advenue dans la langue native de la philosophie. En plaçant sa lecture de la lettre biblique, et sa compréhension de l’esprit qui l’anime, en regard de l’exégèse de son ancien collègue et ami Rudolf Bultmann, apparaîtront également les limites qui furent celles de l’entente heideggérienne des paroles se recueillant dans la Bible et les secrètes dépendances que sa philosophie conserve à leur endroit.

UniBO @ AMI: A Multi-Class Approach to Misogyny and Aggressiveness Identification on Twitter Posts Using AlBERTo
Authors: Muti Arianna , Barrón-Cedeño Alberto
Published: May 2021

We describe our participation in the EVALITA 2020 (Basile et al., 2020) shared task on Automatic Misogyny Identification. We focus on task A —Misogyny and Aggressive Behaviour Identification— which aims at detecting whether a tweet in Italian is misogynous and, if so, whether it is aggressive. Rather than building two different models, one for misogyny and one for aggressiveness identification, we handle the problem as one single multi-label classification task, considering three classes: non-misogynous, non-aggressive misogynous, and aggressive misogynous. Our three-class supervised model, built on top of AlBERTo, obtains an overall F1 score of 0.7438 on the task test set (F1 = 0.8102 for the misogyny and F1 = 0.6774 for the aggressiveness task), which outperforms the top submitted model (F1 = 0.7406).1
Jigsaw @ AMI and HaSpeeDe2: Fine-Tuning a Pre-Trained Comment-Domain BERT Model

The Google Jigsaw team produced submissions for two of the EVALITA 2020 (Basile et al. 2020) shared tasks, based in part on the technology that powers the publicly available PerspectiveAPI comment evaluation service. We present a basic description of our submitted results and a review of the types of errors that our system made in these shared tasks.
PoliTeam @ AMI: Improving Sentence Embedding Similaritywith Misogyny Lexicons for Automatic Misogyny Identificationin Italian Tweets
Authors: Attanasio Giuseppe , Pastor Eliana
Published: May 2021

enWe present a multi-agent classification solution for identifying misogynous and aggressive content in Italian tweets. A first agent uses modern Sentence Embedding techniques to encode tweets and a SVM classifier to produce initial labels. A second agent, based on TF-IDF and Misogyny Italian lexicons, is jointly adopted to improve the first agent on uncertain predictions. We evaluate our approach in the Automatic Misogyny Identification Shared Task of the EVALITA 2020 campaign. Results show that TF-IDF and lexicons effectively improve the supervised agent trained on sentence embeddings.

Published: May 2021

The Hate Speech Detection (HaSpeeDe 2) task is the second edition of a shared task on the detection of hateful content in Italian Twitter messages. HaSpeeDe 2 is composed of a Main task (hate speech detection) and two Pilot tasks, (stereotype and nominal utterance detection). Systems were challenged along two dimensions: (i) time, with test data coming from a different time period than the training data, and (ii) domain, with test data coming from the news domain (i.e., news headlines). Overall, 14 teams participated in the Main task, the best systems achieved a macro F1-score of 0.8088 and 0.7744 on the in-domain in the out-of-domain test sets, respectively; 6 teams submitted their results for Pilot task 1 (stereotype detection), the best systems achieved a macro F1-score of 0.7719 and 0.7203 on in-domain and out-of-domain test sets. We did not receive any submission for Pilot task 2.
ghostwriter19 @ SardiStance: Generating new tweets to classify SardiStance EVALITA 2020 political tweets
Authors: Bennici Mauro
Published: May 2021

Understanding the events and the dominant thought is of great help to convey the desired message to our potential audience, be it marketing or political propaganda.Succeeding while the event is still ongoing is of vital importance to prepare alerts that require immediate action.A micro message platform like Twitter is the ideal place to be able to read a large amount of data linked to a theme and self-categorized by its users using hashtags and mentions.In this research, I will show how a simple translator can be used to bring styles, vocabulary, grammar, and other characteristics to a common factor that leads each of us to be unique in the way we express ourselves.
TextWiller @ SardiStance, HaSpeede2: Text or Con-text? A Smart Use of Social Network Data in Predicting Polarization

Published: May 2021

In this contribution we describe the system (i.e. a statistical model) used to participate in Evalita conference 2020, SardiStance (Tasks A and B) and Haspeede2 (Tasks A and B). We first developed a classifier by extracting features from the texts and the social network of users. Then, we fit the data through an extreme gradient boosting, with cross-validation tuning of the hyper-parameters. A key factor for a good performance in SardiStance Task B was the features extraction by using Multidimensional Scaling of the distance matrix (minimum path, undirected graph) applied on each network. The second system exploits the same features above, but it trains and performs predictions in two-steps. The performances proved to be lower than those of the single-step model.
SSNCSE-NLP @ EVALITA2020: Textual and Contextual Stance Detection from Tweets Using Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Bharathi B. , Bhuvana J. , Appiah Balaji Nitin Nikamanth
Published: May 2021

Opinions expressed via online social media platforms can be used to analyse the stand taken by the public about any event or topic. Recognizing the stand taken is the stance detection, in this paper an automatic stance detection approach is proposed that uses both deep learning based feature extraction and hand crafted feature extraction. BERT is used as a feature extraction scheme along with stylistic, structural, contextual and community based features extracted from tweets to build a machine learning based model. This work has used multilayer perceptron to detect the stances as favour, against and neutral tweets. The dataset used is provided by SardiStance task with tweets in Italian about Sardines movement. Several variants of models were built with different feature combinations and are compared against the baseline model provided by the task organisers. The models with BERT and the same combined with other contextual features proven to be the best performing models that outperform the baseline model performance.
UOBIT @ TAG-it: Exploring a Multi-faceted Representation for Profiling Age, Topic and Gender in Italian Texts
Authors: Labadie Tamayo Roberto , Castro Castro Daniel , Ortega Bueno Reynier
Published: May 2021

This paper describes our system for participating in the TAG-it Author Profiling task at EVALITA 2020. The task aims to predict age and gender of blogs users from their posts, as the topic they wrote about. Our proposal combines learned representations by RNN at word and sentence levels, Transformer Neural Nets and hand-crafted stylistic features. All these representations are mixed and fed into a fully connected layer from a feed-forward neural network in order to make predictions for addressed subtasks. Experimental results show that our model achieves encouraging performance.
