Abstract:
Building a high-quality emotion lexicon is regarded as the foundation of research on emotion analysis.
Existing methods have focused on the study of primary categories (i.e., anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise).
However, there are many emotions expressed in texts that are difficult to be mapped to primary emotions, which poses a great challenge in emotion annotation for big data analysis.
For instance, “despair” is a combination of “fear” and “sadness,” and thus it is difficult to divide into each of them.
To address this problem, we propose an automatic building method of emotion lexicon based on the psychological theory of compound emotion.
This method could map emotional words into an emotion space, and annotate different emotion classes through a cascade clustering algorithm.
Our experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in both word and sentence-level primary classification performance, and also offer us some insights into compound emotion analysis.
