A `Sourceful' Twist: Emoji Prediction Based on Sentiment, Hashtags and Application Source

Understand

We widely use emojis in social networking to heighten, mitigate or negate the sentiment of the text.

• Emoji suggestions already exist in many cross-platform applications but an emoji is predicted solely based a few prominent words instead of understanding the subject and substance of the text.
• Through this paper, we showcase the importance of using Twitter features to help the model understand the sentiment involved and hence to predict the most suitable emoji for the text.
• Hashtags and Application Sources like Android, etc.
