Appraisal Theories for Emotion Classification in Text (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Automatic emotion categorization is based on textual units assigned to an emotion from a predefined inventory, for instance following the basic emotion classes proposed by Paul Ekman (1999) or Plutchik (2001). |
| Approach: | They propose to make automatic emotion categorization explicit by following theories of cognitive appraisal of events and show their potential for emotion classification when being encoded in classification models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models improve the classification of discrete emotion categories by using appraisal dimension assignments in event descriptions. |
