The frequent use of Emojis on social media
platforms has created a new form of multimodal
social interaction. Developing methods
for the study and representation of emoji semantics
helps to improve future multimodal
communication systems. In this paper we explore
the usage and semantics of emojis over
time. We compare emoji embeddings trained
on a corpus of different seasons and show that
some emojis are used differently depending on
the time of the year. Moreover, we propose

a method to take into account the time information
for emoji prediction systems, outperforming
state-of-the-art systems. We show
that, using the time information, the accuracy
of some emojis can be significantly improved.
