Learning to identify emotions in text

This paper describes experiments concerned with the automatic analysis of emotions in text. We describe the construction of a large data set annotated for six basic emotions: ANGER, DISGUST, FEAR, JOY, SADNESS and SURPRISE, and we propose and evaluate several knowledge-based and corpusbased methods for the automatic identification of these emotions in text.
