During this pandemic, when in-person communication is difficult, people use a wide variety of emojis and text to convey their emotions, sentiment, fear, and psychological impact. Ignoring these emojis while determining the mental health status of a person from his/her published tweet could be misleading. Similarly, this pandemic has seen a change in the sense of Emoji usage on Twitter. For instance, folding hands were meant to please or thank you; however, in the pandemic context, it is used to express a health crisis. Hence, a semantic fusion of these modalities of data is required to precisely identify the user behavior and the patterns in the mental health statuses. This challenge seeks innovative methods to not only determine the semantic association between tweet texts and Emojis in the COVID19 context but also utilize it to label the tweet with an appropriate mental health condition.
