TALN - UPF technology for emojis prediction at the news!!

Emojis are ideograms which are naturally combined with plain text to visually
complement or condense the meaning of a message. Despite being widely used in social
media, their underlying semantics have received little attention from a Natural Language
Processing standpoint.

The Large Scale Text Understanding Systems Lab has investigated the relation between words and emojis, studying the novel task of predicting which emojis are evoked by text-based tweet
messages. Recently, their results have received a lot of atention.
