The Manifold of Human Emotions
Authors: Seungyeon Kim, Fuxin Li, Guy Lebanon, Irfan Essa

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 finite set of human emotions. We investigate the resulting model, compare it to psychological observations, and explore its predictive capabilities.
