Despite being a fairly recent phenomenon, emojis have quickly become ubiquitous. Besides their extensive use in social media, they are now also invoked in customer surveys and feedback forms. Hence, there is a need for techniques to understand their sentiment and emotion. In this work, we provide a method to quantify the emotional association of basic emotions such as anger, fear, joy, and sadness for a set of emojis. We collect and process a unique corpus of 20 million emoji-centric tweets, such that we can capture rich emoji semantics using a comparably small dataset. We evaluate the induced emotion profiles of emojis with regard to their ability to predict word affect intensities as well as sentiment scores.

Given the growing ubiquity of emojis in language, there is a need for methods and resources that shed light on their meaning and communicative role. One conspicuous aspect of emojis is their use to convey affect in ways that may otherwise be non-trivial to achieve. In this paper, we seek to explore the connection between emojis and emotions by means of a new dataset consisting of human-solicited association ratings. We additionally conduct experiments to assess to what extent such associations can be inferred from existing data in an unsupervised manner. Our experiments show that this succeeds when high-quality wordlevel information is available.

Emojis have become ubiquitous in digital communication, due to their visual appeal as well as their ability to vividly convey human emotion, among other factors. This also leads to an increased need for systems and tools to operate on text containing emojis. In this study, we assess this support by considering test sets of tweets with emojis, based on which we perform a series of experiments investigating the ability of prominent NLP and text processing tools to adequately process them. In particular, we consider tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, as well as sentiment analysis. Our findings show that many systems still have notable shortcomings when operating on text containing emojis.

Now-a-days Cluster computing has become a crying need for the processing of large scale data. For computing large amount of data, which need huge execution time, the run time can be reduced using multiple processors and task distribution through cluster computing. It is the technique of sharing two or more computers' resources through a network (usually through a local area network) in order to take advantage of the parallel processing power of those computers. Clusters of computers are usually deployed to improve processing speed and/or reliability and scalability over that provided by a single computer. In this paper we proposed a High Performance computing approach on Linux platform (Ubuntu) using Parallel Programming environment with the collaboration of multiple nodes for large scale computational work.

Cloud computing infrastructure helps users to minimize cost by outsourcing data and computation on-demand. Due to the varying user needs in terms of computation power, storage capacity, etc., cloud providers offer various machines to choose from, to maximize the intended need. In this paper, we disprove several common conceptions regarding the performance and cost of cloud by experimenting on instances of two different families (compute and storage optimized) of the most popular cloud platform, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Our analysis shows the interesting finding that, for the machines of the same configuration, storage optimized instances have lower disk readwrite speed than compute optimized, which does not completely reflect the claim made by Amazon in all cases. Additionally, storage optimized instances have notable performance difference among them. We also identify that the I/O performance of same instance type varies over different time periods.
