A Corpus-based Multi-label Emotion Classification using Maximum Entropy

Abstract

Thanks to the Internet, blog posts online have emerged as a new grassroots medium, which create a huge resource of text-based emotion. Comparing to other ideal experimental settings, what we obtained by modeling blogs would be more private, honest and polemic because web logs from the World Wide Web evolve and respond more to real-world events. In this paper, our corpus consists of a collection of blog posts, which annotated as multi-label to make the classification of emotion more precise than the single-label set of basic emotions. Employing a maximum entropy classifier, our results show that the emotions can be clearly separated by the proposed method. Additionally, we show that the micro-average F1-score of multi-label detection increase when the mount of available training data further increases.
