A depressão é uma das questões de saúde mental mais preocupantes da atualidade. No Brasil, em 2019, 10,2% da população adulta relatou ter sido diagnosticada com depressão segundo dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde. Identificar pessoas com perfil possivelmente depressivo permite um acompanhamento adequado por parte dos profissionais de saúde mental. Nesse sentido, as redes sociais online, como o Twitter, podem ser importantes aliadas. Este artigo apresenta experimentos realizados para a classificação automática de postagens (e não usuários) do Twitter contendo conteúdo que denota algum sintoma de depressão. A classificação com regressão logística apresentou os melhores resultados (F1 média de 57\%) entre os algoritmos investigados.

This article describes a methodology that was developed to review Emocionário, a lexicon of emotion words in Portugese from Linguateca's AC/DC project. This first portion of the review was carried out in seven of the 24 groups of Emocionário, being them “Desespero”, “Esperança”, “Humildade”, “Pena”, “Satisfação”, “Saudade” and “Surpresa”. The methodology is then illustrated, making use of examples taken from the corpus itself for each of the steps. Some of the main changes are documented and discussed at the end.

Um estudo exploratório de exposição de participantes às variantes de uma variável linguística saliente do ponto de vista social, a palatalização progressiva, foi realizado com o uso de rastreamento ocular, para examinar o processamento da variação linguística. Os resultados mostram que exposição à variante estigmatizada captou a atenção e aumentou a dilatação da pupila dos participantes, o que pode ser interpretado como evidência de uma resposta emocional.

This article presents an analysis of the textual complexity of satirical and true news for Brazilian Portuguese. The Fake has been a big problem nowadays. Satirical content is an important point in the automatic detection of false news as its use can cause underlying confusion in the analysis. To carry out this research, the NILC-Metrix tool was applied, and 16 measures were evaluated, including descriptive, syntactic and semantic aspects, noting a greater complexity for real texts.

This work describes the syntactic organization of a set of Judgments of the Special Civil Courts, whose documents must be accessible to the lay citizen without the assistance of a lawyer. The phrasal constituents with subject function in 110 Judgments are highlighted in the light of Terminology studies, Corpus Linguistics and research on reading comprehension. The study found that most of these constituents assume forms that tend to demand greater burden in reading and to exhibit traits that hardly coincide with patterns of written daily language, which makes their intelligibility difficult for the lay public.

As large amounts of unstructured data are generated on a regular basis, expressing or storing knowledge in a way that is useful remains a challenge. In this context, Relation Extraction (RE) is the task of automatically identifying relationships in unstructured textual data. Thus, we investigated the relation extraction on unstructured e-commerce data from the smartphone domain, using a BERT model fine-tuned for this task. We conducted two experiments to acknowledge how much relational information it is possible to extract from product sheets (structured data) and product titles (unstructured data), and a third experiment to compare both. Analysis shows that extracting relations within a title can retrieve correct relations that are not evident on the related sheet.

O aprendizado multimodal visa explorar as características das diversas modalidades (texto, imagem, áudio) para gerar modelos computacionais. No comercio eletrônico, devido à grande variedade das características dos produtos e a ausência ou inconsistência de informações, a combinação de informações de modos diferentes vem a ser bastante adequada. Neste trabalho são apresentados alguns experimentos para a classificação multimodal (texto e imagem) de produtos (produtos adultos) que não podem ser vendidos no marketplace da empresa parceira. Nesses experimentos, redes neurais foram usadas para treinar classificadores uni e multimodal. O classificador multimodal atingiu 99% de F1 contra 98% do modelo textual e 94% do visual.

Textual similarity deals with determining how similar two pieces of texts are, considering the lexical (surface forms) or semantic (meaning) close-ness. In this paper we applied word embeddings for measuring e-commerce product title similarity in Brazilian Portuguese. We generated some domain-specific word embeddings (using Word2Vec, FastText and GloVe) and compared them with general-domain models (word embeddings and BERT models). We concluded that the cosine similarity calculated using the domain-specific word embeddings was a good approach to distinguish between similar and non-similar products, but the multilingual BERT pre-trained model proved to be thebest one.

In this paper, we show how a Portuguese BERT model can be combined with structured data in order to deploy a chatbot based on a finite state machine to create a conversational AI system that helps a real-estate company to predict its client’s contact motivation. The model achieves human level results in a dataset that containts 235 unbalanced labels. Then, we also show its benefits considering the business impact comparing it against classical NLP methods.

This work explores speech as a biomarker and investigates the detection of respiratory insufficiency (RI) by analyzing speech samples. 
Previous work constructed a dataset of respiratory insufficiency COVID-19 patient utterances and analyzed it by means of a convolutional neural network achieving an accuracy of $87.04\%$, validating the hypothesis that one can detect RI through speech. 
Here, we study how Transformer neural network architectures can improve the performance on RI detection. 
This approach enables construction of an acoustic model. By choosing the correct pretraining technique, we generate a self-supervised acoustic model, leading to improved performance ($96.53\%$) of Transformers for RI detection.

Depression is a psychological disorder that affects millions of people in the world, regardless of their age, social class, or nationality. Different techniques have been studied to analyze and recognize this disease in the literature, such as Natural Language Processing, Sentiment Analysis, and Machine Learning. However, in Brazilian Portuguese, only a few studies have been focused on creating a dataset to classify symptoms of depression. In this paper, we propose a novel text dataset composed of sentences that refer to the main symptoms of depression: behavioral, physiological, and psychological. Initial experiments exploring different machine learning algorithms in the dataset obtained high accurate performance values, which shows that the study is promising to encourage research in this area.
