Understanding Textual Emotion Through Emoji Prediction
This project explores emoji prediction from short text sequences using four deep learning architectures: a feed-forward network, CNN, transformer, and BERT. Using the TweetEval dataset, we address class imbalance through focal loss and regularization techniques. Results show BERT achieves the highest overall performance due to its pre-training advantage, while CNN demonstrates superior efficacy on rare emoji classes. This research shows the importance of architecture selection and hyperparamete…

It's also a great day to celebrate the creation of the most important Emoji in history. Yes, after thousands of years waiting, the iconic 🦫has only been with us 6 years, but it feels like forever. Here is a repost of how Canada’s favourite mammal opened up communications with the rest of the world.

Emoji Reactions on Telegram Often Reflect Social Approval Over Emotional Resonance
Emoji reactions are a frequently used feature of messaging platforms. Prior work mainly interpreted emojis as indicators of emotional resonance or user sentiment. However, emoji reactions may instead reflect broader social dynamics. Here, we investigate the communicative function of emoji reactions on Telegram by analyzing the relationship between the emotional and rhetorical content of messages and the emoji reactions they receive. We collect and analyze over 650k Telegram messages that receiv…

Dear Apple,
It makes sense for you to reorder my frequently used emoji based on how frequently I use them, but please wait until I’ve closed the emoji keyboard before you do.
I wanted to text my wife three ♥️ but after the first it switched to 🤔and then for the third it went to 🤷. It’s a good thing I noticed because

So yes, BlueSky finally has bookmarks.
Before this feature came out, people had simply been replying to posts with a 📌 emoji and there was a dedicated feed where you could view your 📌’ed posts.
In an example of how to roll stuff out, someone made an importing tool that either moved OR copied your 📌 posts to bookmarks (saved posts)
VERY well done.

v1.108 is rolling out today 🚚 Now live, at long last: Bookmarks, aka Saved Posts. For all those posts you'll definitely plan to come back to! Update the app and give it a try. The button is right down there 👇

⌨️🐒 needs to be lucky enough to type all characters of all of Shakespeare correctly. 💻🐒 only needs to be lucky enough to type a program for Shakespeare.

Universal pre-training by iterated random computation
We investigate the use of randomly generated data for the sake of pre-training a model. We justify this approach theoretically from the perspective of algorithmic complexity, building on recent research that shows that sequence models can be trained to approximate Solomonoff induction. We derive similar, but complementary theoretical results. We show empirically that synthetically generated data can be used to pre-train a model before the data is seen. We replicate earlier results that models t…

Yes, Google, I definitely need to make an "engaging video with AI” for my document of paid ad performance metrics and projections.
This is totally, definitely, indubitably a legitimate use case for a product that you're pushing on your users. *heavy sacrasm*

just for the record, I do not think mastodon/fedi is “doomed” or “fundamentally broken” or whatever. I think we’re all early adopters of a new technology that has yet to mature fully. someday in 50 years we will all be telling the youngsters that they have it easy and back in our day we had to federate profiles manually. also mastodon will still not have emoji reactions.

Why is there no goth emoji?

What if every time we copy-and-paste an emoji, we propagated the history of that particular instance too? So I copy a ❤️ from my friend Alice and send it to my friend Bob, and Bob sees a ❤️ and when he taps on it it says "this ❤️ was from Alice. She got it from Chuck, who got it from David, ..."

I am baffled that people think peppering a post with 🚨 alarm emoji 🚨 somehow makes it seem more 🚨 urgent and credible.

Malicious earworms and useful memes, how the far-right surfs on TikTok audio trends
With its features of remix, TikTok is the designated platform for meme-making and dissemination. Creative combinations of video, emoji, and filters allow for an endless stream of memes and trends animated by sound. The platform has focused its moderation on upholding physical safety, hence investing in the detection of harmful challenges. In response to the DSA, TikTok implemented opt-outs for personalized feeds and features allowing users to report illegal content. At the same time, the platfo…

Hi #fedihelp : I recently saw a tool someone had built that animates emoji faces to match a text-to-speech output (so it looks like a little emoji person talking). It was relatively low-level, a command-line tool or so. Anyone remember what it was? #emoji #emojis
Edit: found it!

What mobile clients (iOS) do y’all use for fedi (other than feditext) that supports stuff like emoji reactions, rendering markdown and etc?

Just got a small space heater and damn it’s so much more comfortable here now
As a @… fan I’d prefer if my AC/heat pump supported heating mode, but welp it was already installed when I moved here so an electric heater will do it for the 2 days a year it’s actually cold enough for that to be useful here. Getting all that heat from the bedroom to the living room would be a problem anyway.
And I didn’t even need to make a fire hazard in order to use it since a 20A outlet was already around due to the coffee thingy, yay!
It’s been on for just around 40mins and it’s already sooo much better in here (the temp sensor is not on the side the heater is pointing to (the sofa) so it’ll take a while for it to reflect the change specially since this is a big room (kitchen dinner living), but just pointing the heater to where I’m at is enough to make it a comfortable temperature (and probably even way too hot in a bit)).
I’ve been wanting this for a while, but it never felt worth it bc we don’t really have many cold days here. Tho this year we got some more I think and today was specially cold (9~11°C) so I decided to just do it. Extra points bc it was available on fucking iFood of all places so it arrived less than an hour after I ordered it lmao.

Honestly I’m really disappointed. Why releasing a new model if it’s worse than the previous one?
Fairphone 5 always seemed like a miracle, a phone that actually cared about being fair and that had good postmarketOS support while still having good modern specs compared to other companies phones out there. Fairphone 6 had me excited since the obvious assumption would be even better hardware, but then that’s what we got? Damn, is the dream of a fair phone with good specs over?
As it is today, I’d probably buy a Fairphone 5 over a Fairphone 6. But then once that became outdated, which will happen eventually, it seems that I’d just be orphaned without a phone to upgrade to…
I hope they revert this when they make the Fairphone 7.
Please tell me that the dream of a postmarketOS phone with great specs isn’t over…
