Emotion Detection

Emotion detection is a natural-language-processing task that classifies the basic and complex emotions expressed in text — fear, joy, anger, sadness, surprise, and disgust — within a recognised emotion framework such as Ekman's basic-emotions model or Plutchik's wheel. It builds on Paul Ekman's 1992 argument for a small set of universal basic emotions, going beyond a simple positive/negative split to attach a specific emotion label to each piece of text.
