Beyond Sentiment: The Manifold of Human Emotions

Abstract

Sentiment analysis predicts the presence of positive or negative emotions in a text document. In this paper we consider higher dimensional extensions of the sentiment concept, which represent a richer set of human emotions. Our approach goes beyond previous work in that our model contains a continuous manifold rather than a nite set of human emotions. We investigate the resulting model, compare it to psychological observations, and explore its predictive capabilities. Besides obtaining signicant improvements over a baseline without manifold, we are also able to visualize dierent notions of positive sentiment in dierent domains.
