Did you ever read about Frogs drinking Coffee? Investigating the Compositionality of Multi-Emoji Expressions

Rebeca Padilla López, Fabienne Cap


Abstract
In this work, we present a first attempt to investigate multi-emoji expressions and whether they behave similarly to multiword expressions in terms of non-compositionality. We focus on the combination of the frog and the hot beverage emoji, but also show some preliminary results for other non-compositional emoji combinations. We use off-the-shelf sentiment analysers as well as manual classifications to approach the compositionality of these emoji combinations.
