Posts on Twitter allow users to express ideas and opinions in a very dynamic way. The volume of data available is incredibly high in this support, and it may provide relevant clues regarding the judgement of the public on certain product, event, service etc. While in standard sentiment analysis the most common task is to classify the utterances according to their polarity, it is clear that detecting ironic senses represent a big challenge for Natural Language Processing. By observing a corpus constitued by tweets, we propose a set of patterns that might suggest ironic/sarcastic statements. Thus, we developed special clues for irony detection, through the implementation and evaluation of a set of patterns.

In this paper we present a Basque coref-erence resolution system enriched with semantic knowledge. An error analysis carried out revealed the deficiencies that the system had in resolving coreference cases in which semantic or world knowledge is needed. We attempt to improve the deficiencies using two semantic knowledge sources, specifically Wikipedia and Word-Net.

Neste trabalho propomos o uso de conhecimento lexical, sintático e semântico na tarefa de resolução de correferência. Para isso, realizamos experimentos envolvendo diferentes combinações de heurísticas. Como fruto deste estudo, geramos um sistema prático que resolve correferência em textos da língua portuguesa. Além disso, por meio do conhecimento semântico, introduzido pelo Onto.PT, foi possível obtermos um aumento significativo nos níveis de abrangência do nosso modelo.

No Brasil, não há nenhum instrumento normativo que reconheça o direito à identidade de gênero de pessoas intersexo. Desde 2018, contudo, pessoas intersexo que se identificam com gênero diverso daquele atribuído no registro civil, podem se valer da decisão do STF (ADI 4275), para fins de retificação dos dados registrais. Apesar dessa conquista, ainda não se reconhece, no país, a inscrição no registro civil com outros marcadores de sexo que não o masculino ou o feminino. Neste contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar como o tratamento dado ao registro civil de sujeitos intersexo em instrumentos normativos e decisões internacionais e de outros países pode contribuir para definir parâmetros jurídicos antidiscriminatórios, que protejam direitos humanos dessas pessoas no Brasil e que avancem para além da já alcançada possibilidade de retificação registral.

Intersex children in Brazil are still subjected to “normalizing” surgical procedures and subsequent bodily interventions to make their bodies conform to binary views of sex. Resolution n. 1,664/2003 of the Brazilian Federal Council of Medicine legitimizes interventions upon intersex bodies, being the only national normative instrument that address the subject. However, the demands of international intersex political activism have denounced how early childhood interventions for sex designation mutilate children’s bodies and violate a number of human rights. This research discusses how early, irreversible, and normalizing procedures performed without the intersex person’s consent are human rights violations. Based on the concept of epistemic (in)justice, we first look at the disputes surrounding the evidence that underpin medical practices. We demonstrate how such procedures violate human rights to health, body integrity, autonomy, and sexual and reproductive rights, analyzing which strategies were put into place to prevent them. We propose that intersex people be at the center of decisions regarding their bodies, that non-surgical paths be discussed with patients and their family members, and that early, invasive, mutilating, harmful, cosmetic, and unconsented surgical interventions on intersex children be prohibited. Guiding tools must introduce changes into its regulatory bias to, from an interdisciplinary perspective, include bioethical and human rights bodies, as well as intersex activists.
