Emotion Detection from Tweets using AIT-2018 Dataset

People show emotions for everyday communication. Emotions are identified by facial expressions, behavior, writing, speaking, gestures and physical actions. Emotion plays a vital role in the interaction between two people. The detection of emotions through text is a challenge for researchers. Emotion detection from the text can be useful for real-world application. Automatic emotion detection in the original text aims to recognize emotions in any digital medium by using natural language processing techniques and different approaches. Enabling machines with the ability to recognize emotions in a particular kind of text such as twitter's tweet has important applications in sentiment analysis and affective computing. We have worked on the newly published gold dataset (AIT-2018) and propose a model consisting of lexical-based using Word Net-Affect and EmoSenticNet with supervised classifiers for detecting emotions in a tweet text.
