▶ Emotion relation corpus for the recognition of emotional relations of characters in fan fiction (2019)

Semantic role labeling of emotion events is a challenging task. In this corpus, we simplify this to a binary relation extraction task, in which character mention pairs are labeled with directed emotional relations between them, i.e., a character is either an emotion experiencer or the cause of an emotion.

Authors: Evgeny Kim, Roman Klinger

▶ REMAN and GoodNewsEveryone: Emotion Corpora for Semantic Roles of Emotion Events (2019)

Emotions are commonly expressed in context of a mention of an experiencer (which can be the author of a text), with specific trigger words, and can describe the target and the stimulus of the emotion. We publish two corpora with such annotations, one of literature from Project Gutenberg and one of news headlines (additionally annotated with the reader perspective of emotions).
