Language, emotion, and the emotions: A computational introduction

Abstract

In this paper, the second in the pair, we discuss how psychologists, linguists, and computer scientists model emotion from a computational perspective. First, we draw some parallels between the formalization of the emotions in the human body and the development of computational systems. Then we look at three influential schools for formalizing emotion in language, and we use a specific example to show that they do not have the same concerns and expressive power. We give some examples of computational resources for emotions, insisting on why the variety of languages and cultures makes it impossible to apply a monolithic universal approach. We then turn to emotion and opinion and briefly overview opinion mining and emotion generation. Instead of describing techniques and technologies and providing quantitative results, we try to present a “big picture” of emotion processing.

Vloga čustvenčkov in čustvenih simbolov pri socialnem inženiringu

“…Elder, 2018 Pregled literature Čustvenčki so orodje za izkazovanje čustev, pri ljudeh lahko dajejo občutek altruizma. Santos in Maia, 2018 Pregled literature Pri raziskovanju Twitterja se dandanes raziskovalci preveč nekritično opirajo na šest osnovnih čustev po Ekmanu in Friesenu (1971), čeprav nista nikoli trdila da jih obstaja samo in zgolj šest. Izziv pri interpretaciji besedil na socialnem omrežju Twitter je ugotavljanje sarkazma oz.…”

Clustering emotions in Portuguese

“…We do not follow a particular theory of what an emotion is in psychological or physiological terms, and limit ourselves to the linguistic properties of emotion words. For surveys of other approaches and discussion of several theories, see the works by Maia and Santos (2018) and Santos and Maia (2018).…”
