Irony is defined as the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. In the textual context, it can be considered as a specific type of opinion mining problem. However, due to the nature of the problem, it is generally more challenging to detect. Irony detection is useful to understand the semantics of a text. It also helps improving the accuracy of many other text mining tasks. In this paper, we study the irony detection problem on Turkish informal texts. In the literature there are several solutions proposed mostly for English texts. However, the number of studies on Turkish texts is very limited. The reason for using informal text is that ironic expressions are seen more frequently in informal communication media such as blogs, social media posts. Previously, performance of conventional supervised learning based solutions, such as Naive Bayes Classifier and SVM, on Turkish texts have been studied. In this work, we investigate the performance of neural network based models in comparison to conventional supervised learning models.

Automatic sense prediction of explicit discourse connectives in Turkish with the help of centering theory and morphosyntactic features Çetin, Savaş; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018) Discourse connectives (and, but, however) are one of many means of keeping the discourse coherent. Discourse connectives are classified into groups based on their senses (expansion, contingency, etc.). They describe the semantic relationship of two discourse units. This study aims to build a machine learning system to predict the sense of explicit discourse connectives on the Turkish Discourse Bank data, which is manually gold-annotated. To do so, this study examines the effect of several features: i.e. tra...
Explicit evaluative comments on Turkish impoliteness Building a model of impoliteness2 on impoliteness1 Işık Güler, Hale (2009-07-02) Many past politeness theories have been devised “at the expense of ignoring the lay person’s conception of politeness as revealed through their uses of the terms polite and impolite” (Culpeper, 2008, p.19). With the intention of using (im)politeness1 (lay) conceptualisations to inform the (scientific) theorizing of (im)politeness2, this study investigates the conceptualisation of ‘impoliteness’ (Tr. Kaba) for Turkish native speakers (hereafter, TNS). The data for the study comes from a number of sources: a ...
A Closer look at rumination in adolescence: investigation of possible risk factors and moderators Akkaya, Sevinç; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Department of Psychology (2017) Rumination is defined as excessive thinking about causes or consequences of negative event or dwelling on negative mood experienced. In the literature, two types of rumination (anger and depressive rumination) have been identified. Ruminative style thinking increases through adolescence and predicts several internalizing and externalizing problems. However, despite the evidence on consequences, the studies focusing on their developmental antecedents are limited. Therefore, the current study aims to investig...
INVESTIGATING THE ASYMMETRIC NATURE OF THE CONTIGUITY EFFECT VIA PROBED RECALL TASK ARPACI, Hazal; KILIÇ ÖZHAN, Aslı; Department of Psychology (2022-7-26) In free recall, there is a tendency to generate a word that either follows or precedes the just recalled word in the study list, which is known as the contiguity effect. This effect has been explained by two main accounts: causal models and non-causal models. Causal models claim that the contiguity effect occurs due to the utilization of the just recalled item as a cue to recall the next item, whereas according to non-causal models, items are not used as cues, but instead the similarity between the mental s...
Teacher educators’ emotions: a phenomenological study of university teachers’ emotional experiences Calik, Basak; Yıldırım, Ali (null; 2018-09-07) The term “affect” refers to non-cognitive constructs involving beliefs, moods and emotions (Boekaerts, 2007; Pekrun & Linnenbrick-Garcia, 2014) that could be crucial on teaching and learning outcomes. Among these constructs, emotions have either been neglected or considered to be destructive, primitive (Sutton & Wheatley, 2003), irrelevant and bothersome in scientific research (Frenzel & Stephens, 2013). However, in recent years this picture has changed drastically in many disciplines which placed emotions ...
