A Method to Estimate the Original Form of Kaomoji Using Neural Network with Character Embedding Function

Abstract

This research focuses on Kaoomji (Asian style emoticons) used in text-based communication. We analyze Kaomoji that are made from particular characters’ sequence (original shapes). In this paper, we construct a neural network with embedding function to estimate the original form of Kaomoji. As a result, we find out that our proposed method can estimate the original form of Kaomoji with 0.746 of accuracy ratio.
