Abstract

Text is an important and major source of communication over Internet. It is analyzed to identify interesting information and trends of communication. Within this work, we are analyzing emotions expressed by people on Internet using Plutchik’s wheel of emotions. Plutchik’s wheel of emotions is use as a tool to identify and summarize emotions to their primary classes. To accomplish it, we allocate a weight to each emotion depending upon the class it belongs and its distance from the center of Plutchik’s wheel of emotions. These weights are then multiplied by the frequencies of emotions in text to identify their intensity level. The intensity of each emotion is summed up with the intensity of its primary emotion while summarizing it. We observed that our mechanism effectively summarize emotions from text. This paper is divided into several sections. The methodology, results and conclusions are discussed in detail in their respective sections.
