Representation Mapping: A Novel Approach to Generate High-Quality Multi-Lingual Emotion Lexicons (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing representational frameworks for emotion encoding are incompatible with semantic polarity, resulting in a large amount of incompatible emotion lexicons. |
| Approach: | They propose to map different emotion representation formats onto each other for mutual compatibility and interoperability of language resources. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method produces (near-)gold quality emotion lexicons even in crosslingual settings. |

Emotion Representation Mapping for Automatic Lexicon Construction (Mostly) Performs on Human Level (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Emotion Representation Mapping (ERM) is an alternative to Word Emotion Induction (WEI) for automatic emotion lexicon construction. |
| Approach: | They propose a neural network approach to ERM that converts existing emotion ratings from one representation format into another by mapping Valence-Arousal-Dominance annotations into Ekman’s Basic Emotions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art in 13 languages and is almost as reliable as human annotations even in cross-lingual settings. |

| Challenge: | Emotion recognition is an umbrella term for several NLP tasks, but most work on high-resource languages has focused on low-resourced languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to use emotion recognition to describe perceived emotions in 28 different languages and across several domains to identify and annotate the datasets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed datasets cover low-resource languages from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, with instances labeled by fluent speakers. |

| Challenge: | linguistic models have a higher correlation with human ground truth ratings than labeled data . word vectors have often been evaluated on standard word relatedness benchmarks . |
| Approach: | They propose to use unsupervised, supervised, and finally supervised methods to extract emotional associations from pretrained vectors and models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows higher correlation with ground truth ratings than state-of-the-art lexicons based on labeled data. |
An Emotional Mess! Deciding on a Framework for Building a Dutch Emotion-Annotated Corpus (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing frameworks for emotion recognition are limited and do not allow for categorical versus dimensional oppositions. |
| Approach: | They propose to use the emotions joy, love, anger, sadness and fear as well as dimensional models to annotate texts from different domains and topics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed frameworks are well-suited to annotate texts from different domains and topics, but the connotation of the labels strongly depends on the origin of the texts. |
