Why is it important?

Creative or Figurative text is a pervasive phenomenon in human language. Online text, commands to personal assistants, or feedbacks on e-commerce websites are embedded with such creative text to convey one's feelings and perspective. It becomes important for a machine to thus understand, and adapt to the evolving nature of human language.
