Abstract

Proliferation of internet and social media has greatly increased the popularity of text communication. People convey their sentiment and emotion through text which promotes lively communication. Consequently, a tremendous amount of emotional text is generated on different social media and blogs in every moment. This has raised the necessity of automated tool for emotion mining from text. There are various rule based approaches of emotion extraction form text based on emotion intensity lexicon. However, creating emotion intensity lexicon is a time consuming and tedious process. Moreover, there is no hard and fast rule for assigning emotion intensity to words. To solve these difficulties, we propose a machine learning based approach of emotion extraction from text which relies on annotated example rather emotion intensity lexicon. We investigated Multinomial Naïve Bayesian (MNB) Classifier, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for mining emotion from text. In our setup, SVM outperformed other classifiers with promising accuracy.
