Discovering Emotions in the Wild: An Inductive Method to Identify Fine-grained Emotion Categories in Tweets
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a method to expose a set of categories that are representative of the emotions expressed on Twitter inductively from data. The method can be used to expand the range of emotions that automatic classifiers can detect through the identification of fine-grained emotion categories human annotators are capable of detecting in tweets. The inter-annotator reliability statistics for 18 annotators using different granularity of the emotion classification schemes are compared. An initial set of emotion categories representative of the range of emotions expressed in tweets is derived. Using this method, researchers can make more informed decisions regarding the level of granularity and representativeness of emotion labels that automatic emotion classifiers should be able to detect in text.

متن کاملUsing Hashtags to Capture Fine Emotion Categories from Tweets
Detecting emotions in microblogs and social media posts has applications for industry, health, and security. Statistical, supervised automatic methods for emotion detection rely on text that is labeled for emotions, but such data is rare and available for only a handful of basic emotions. In this paper, we show that emotion-word hashtags are good manual labels of emotions in tweets. We also pro...
