Improving Tweet Representations using Temporal and User Context
Abstract
In this work we propose a novel representation learning model which computes semantic representations for tweets accurately. Our model systematically exploits the chronologically adjacent tweets ('context') from users' Twitter timelines for this task. Further, we make our model user-aware so that it can do well in modeling the target tweet by exploiting the rich knowledge about the user such as the way the user writes the post and also summarizing the topics on which the user writes. We empirically demonstrate that the proposed models outperform the state-of-the-art models in predicting the user profile attributes like spouse, education and job by 19.66%, 2.27% and 2.22% respectively.
