Summary: When developing models for clinical information retrieval and decision support systems, the extraction of labels from free text in electronic health records is crucial. This study compares three methods for negation detection in Dutch clinical notes, and found that the biLSTM and RoBERTa-based models consistently outperformed the rule-based model in terms of accuracy. The findings also provide insights for further improvement and suggest the viability of different approaches depending on the use case.

Summary: Accurate negation identification is crucial in sentiment analysis, and recent developments have provided methods for accurate detection in languages other than English. This paper focuses on implementing a Spanish system for negation cue detection and applying it to sentiment analysis, demonstrating improvements in accuracy for Spanish sentiment analysis tasks.

Summary: Researchers have developed a new deep learning model MvAttLSTM for detecting irony and satire in tweets, based on three learned views from different perspectives. Experiments show that these views help improve model performance and that affective information is beneficial for detecting irony and satire.

Summary: This paper presents the theoretical background and psycholinguistic findings on idiom processing, and compares it to metaphor and irony processing. It introduces an alternative account of idiom processing based on Relevance Theory, and provides empirical support for this account through linguistic-intuition tests and a pilot experiment.

Summary: Verbal irony is a common form of expression in daily communication, but accurately recognizing it is challenging due to the connotative knowledge involved. To address this issue, we propose a Retrieval-Detection method for Verbal Irony (RDVI) that improves the detection model's ability by incorporating connotative knowledge from the open domain using prompt learning. Experimental results show that our method outperforms existing models.

Summary: Natural Language Processing (NLP) based on new deep learning technology is important for healthcare providers and researchers to discover valuable patterns within health records and scientific literature. This study addresses the problem of negation and speculation processing using advanced deep learning approaches from cue and scope labeling as well as assertion classification perspectives.

Summary: The theory discussed in this article aims to explain the unique characteristics of lies among various deceptive uses of language, as well as the reason why figurative speakers are not considered liars. The author argues that a commitment-based account can successfully address both issues.

Summary: This review emphasizes the importance of assessing figurative language skills for early diagnosis of dementia. Impairment in figurative language may precede literal language impairment in patients with mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer's disease. Including pragmatic tests in diagnostic guidelines may enhance early detection.

Summary: This study exploited the sensitivity of motor structures in the brain to language processes to test linguistic theories on information layering. The results showed that presupposed action verbs trigger a similar increase in grip force as asserted action verbs, while nonfactive verbs show a weaker response. The findings provide new insights into how the brain processes language information.

Summary: This study proposes a deep learning-based approach for detecting negation and uncertainty in Spanish clinical texts. The proposed approach achieves good results on public corpora for the Spanish language and is further validated using a real-life annotated dataset of clinical notes.

Summary: Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the computational modeling of natural language and the development of computational methods for linguistic questions. The increasing number of social media users has sparked interest in analyzing the creative language used online to better understand communication and human opinions. This study introduces a Computational Linguistics with Optimal Deep Belief Network based Irony Detection and Classification (CLODBN-IRC) model for social media, which aims to identify and classify irony. The model utilizes pre-processing, TF-IDF feature extraction, and the DBN model with optimized hyperparameters using the improved artificial bee colony optimization algorithm. Experimental results show the superiority of the CLODBN-IRC model compared to other approaches.

Summary: Features that are critical for understanding the encoded meaning of verbs but are not part of the novel metaphoric interpretation are ignored during the construction of metaphorical meaning. Video clips displaying physical containment facilitate comprehension of verbs when presented in isolation, but not when embedded in sentences that render their interpretation metaphorical.

Summary: Literal language conveys direct meaning, while figurative language conveys veiled or implicit meanings. Figurative language is commonly used in the context of drug trafficking to express various concepts through metaphorical devices. The study demonstrates the application of Natural Language Processing techniques in recognizing and analyzing the creative use of figurative language.
