        <p>In this paper, we propose a method for automatic identifying emotions in written texts in social media with high proliferation such as Facebook. For that task we try to model the way people use the language to express themselves, and also use this model for identifying the gender of the authors. We focused on Spanish due to the lack of studies and resources in that language.</p>

      <title>1 Introduction</title>
      <p>World is rapidly changing, social media are growing day by day and, in a sense,
customers are becoming users looking for new experiences. The emotional aspect
of the life is acquiring a growing importance and with it, the need of
automatically processing the a ective content of such social media, in order to know what
users want and need.</p>
      <p>The potentiality o ered by social networking is undoubtful from lots of
perspectives like marketing, security or health. But it is also undoubtful that the
information users include about themselves, if they include it, may lack
credibility. Age, gender, a liation, likes... many users invent them, use linguistic devices
such as sarcasm and irony, or simply, they have never reported them. Getting to
know the demographic and psychosocial pro le of such users is an opportunity
for organizations and companies, and a challenge for natural language processing
technologies, due to the fact that the unique certainty we can have is what we
can obtain from what the users write and share in such social media.</p>
      <p>
        Studies like [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">11</xref>
        ] link the use of the language with some traits like the gender of
the author, but the vast majority of such investigations are limited to English and
traditional media, which should be extended to the (di erent?) use of language
in the new technologies and media, and to other languages such as Spanish.
      </p>
      <p>This investigation presents a method for automatically identifying emotions
in Facebook and in Spanish language, taking into account another dimension of
personality of growing interest in the scienti c community: the author gender3.
The main objective is to establish a common framework and a series of resources
to investigate the relationship among demographics and emotions, and in the
future with personality traits, in social media.</p>
      <p>In Section 2 we describe the related work on resources and a ective
processing. In Section 3 we present our proposal for modeling the style of the language
to automatically identify emotions and gender with a machine learning
algorithm. In Section 4 the methodology is described and the results are presented
in Section 5. In Section 6 we present the conclusions and future work to achieve
our objective.

      <title>Related Work</title>
      <p>Classi cation of related work can be done from two perspectives: the generation
of a ective resources and the a ective processing methods.
2.1</p>
      <sec id="sec-2-1">
        <title>Generation of a ective resources</title>
        <p>
          Dictionaries which include the a ective dimension are the most common
resources, being pioneers the Lasswell Value Dictionary [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
          ], where each word is
annotated with the existence of dimensions such as wealth, power, rectitude,
respect, enlightenment, skill, a ection or wellbeing, and the General Inquirer [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref29">29</xref>
          ],
where each word is annotated with the existence of dimensions such as active,
passive, strong, weak, pleasure, pain, feeling, arousal, virtue, vice, overstated or
understated. Both dictionaries use binary tags without considering the degree of
occurrence.
        </p>
        <p>
          Like the previous dictionaries, based on obtaining the existence of certain
emotional dimensions, the Clairvoyance A ect Lexicon [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">9</xref>
          ] labels categories such
as anger, joy and fear, and also adds some dimensions as centrality and strength,
in order to complete the relationship between the word and its a ective class.
        </p>
        <p>
          In the line of identifying emotional dimensions, the Dictionary of A ect in
Language (DAL) [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref34">34</xref>
          ] consists of a set of 8,842 words labeled by their
activation and ability to imagine the emotion; or the A ective Norms for English
Words (ANEW) [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
          ] whose objective is to have measured the maximum number
of English words in terms of activation, evaluation and control. On the other
hand, Strapparava and Valitutti [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref30">30</xref>
          ] developed WordNetA ect as a subdomain
of Wordnet, where each word is labeled according to its emotional category,
evaluation and activation.
        </p>
        <p>
          In [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">16</xref>
          ] the authors used Mechanical Turk4 for creating a high-quality,
moderatesize, emotion lexicon of about 2,000 terms. They showed how terms related to

emotions are among the most common unigrams and bigrams, and also identi ed
which emotions tend to be evoked simultaneously by the same term. They used
automatically generated word choices to detect and reject erroneous annotations.
        </p>
        <p>
          Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) is a software for obtaining
features from text. It was developed by Pennebaker et al. [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">22</xref>
          ] Through using text
analysis that provides up to 70 dimensions such as the degree of positive and
negative emotions, self-references, causal words, and so on.
        </p>
        <p>
          There are hardly any resources in Spanish language, highlighting the
Spanish Adaptation of ANEW developed by [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref27">27</xref>
          ]. With the help of 720 participants,
they labeled the translation of 1,034 words of ANEW in the dimensions of
polarity, activation and control. Moreover, the Spanish Emotion Lexicon (SEL) [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">28</xref>
          ]
consists on 2,036 words associated with the measure of "Probability Factor of
A ective use" (PFA) related to one of the six basic emotions of Ekman[
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
          ]: joy,
disgust, anger, fear, sadness, surprise. SEL de nes four possible degrees of
relationship with each emotion (null, low, medium, high). 19 annotators indicated
these values for each word and the PFA was calculated as an average of the
percentages assigned to each degree.
        </p>
        <p>
          Although it is not a resource, we must cite the investigation carried out
in [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>
          ]. They studied the necessity, or not, of using a ective dictionaries in the
emotion analysis, trying to answer questions as if they improve the identi cation
or if they could be replaced by general purpose dictionaries.

        <title>A ective processing methods</title>
        <p>Automatic processing of a ectivity has been focused mainly on sentiment
analysis, where one of the dimensions of the emotions is investigated: evaluation (or
polarity). However, there are a series of methods oriented to classify documents
in the corresponding emotional category, usually based on the six basic emotions
of Ekman.</p>
        <p>
          We highlight three methods presented in SemEval 2007, where the task of
identifying emotions was included for 1,000 news headlines. UPAR7 [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
          ] used the
Stanford syntactic parser for identifying what the main topic was speaking about,
estimating each word polarity with the help of Senti Wordnet and Wordnet
A ect and obtaining incrementally the global classi cation. UA [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">12</xref>
          ] utilized
three search engines for searching all the words in the headline combined with
each emotion, and then calculating the Pointwise Mutual Information according
to the number of returned documents. SWAT [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>
          ] was a supervised system based
on unigrams and trained with another 1,000 news manually annotated by their
authors and which used the Roget thesaurus to expand synonyms and build the
features.
        </p>
        <p>
          In [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref32">32</xref>
          ] results are presented and compared with ve own proposals [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>
          ].
WNAFFECT PRESENCE identi ed emotions based on the presence of words from
WordnetA ect. LSA SINGLE WORD calculated the LSA similitude between
each text and each emotion, taking some words like joy as representatives of the
emotional class. LSA EMOTION SYNSET added Wordnet synonyms and LSA
ALL EMOTIONS also included all the annotated words from WordnetA ect, as
an emotion containers. NB TRAINED ON BLOGS was based on a Naive Bayes
classi er trained on a corpus of blogs. Results are shown in Figure 1.
        </p>
        <p>The rst global performance, measured by F1, was obtained by LSA ALL
EMOTION WORDS with 17.57%. However, methods presented in SemEval
performed better r measure5.</p>
        <p>
          Other investigations related to the identi cation of emotions are: [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>
          ] based
on detecting keywords; [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>
          ] based on lexical a nity according to the probability
of certain words to be related to certain emotions and [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>
          ] based on the OMCS2
knowledge base.
        </p>
        <p>
          Previous methods obtain features and approaches by analyzing the semantic
content of the texts. On the other hand, in [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
          ] authors introduced style features
as the identi cation of imperative sentences, exclamation signs, the use of capital
letters or the use of present and future, in order to identify polarity and emotional
category.
        </p>
        <p>
          Trying to unlink the method from the language, English in all the cases seen
so far, in [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>
          ] is described a modular architecture with semantic disambiguation
per language or the use of a ective dictionaries as ANEW. This system has also
been applied to Spanish.
        </p>
        <p>
          Following the line of style features and for a language di erent than English,
in [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref33">33</xref>
          ] authors used substantives, adjectives and verbs with the identi cation of
keywords and types of sentences in Japanese in order to identify emotions.
        </p>
        <p>
          A step forward to the link between emotions analysis and personality traits
was given in [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>
          ], sentiment analysis by gender was incorporated. They analyzed
three kind of emails: love letters, hate emails and suicide notes.

        <p>
          In Spanish, in [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
          ] a method based on the SEL dictionary is presented, together
with annotated short stories. Di erent machine learning methods are compared,
demonstrating an improvement over baseline.

      <p>The vast majority of investigations on emotions analysis are oriented to obtain
representative characteristics of the semantics of the documents, that is, they
are focused on the analysis of the content, what can imply over tting and
dependency on the domain, context or thematics.</p>
      <p>
        On the basis of what was already studied for English by authors such as
Pennebaker [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref23">23</xref>
        ], we carried out some experiments to investigate the use of the
di erent morphosyntactic categories for Spanish. The aim was verifying whether
their use was di erent or not, depending on the channel [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref24">24</xref>
        ] and its related
language register. The nal goal was using the morphosyntactic categories
information for identifying emotions and subsequently age and gender [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref26">26</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        With the aim of modeling the style of writing we considered readability
features as well as the use of emoticons. We used also the Spanish Emotion
Lexicon, an a ective dictionary specially built for Spanish [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">28</xref>
        ]. All these features
are topic-independent. The complete set is described below. Each item is a list
of individual features represented by frequencies and combined into a vector
space model. We obtained the readability features (frequencies and punctuation
marks) and emoticons using regular expressions, whereas the morphosyntactic
categories where obtained with the Freeling library6.
      </p>
      <p>(F)requencies: Ratio between number of unique words and total number of
words; words starting with capital letter; words completely in capital letters;
length of the words; number of capital letters and number of words with
ooded characters (e.g. Heeeelloooo).
(P)unctuation marks: Frequency of use of dots; commas; colon; semicolon;
exclamations; question marks and quotes.</p>
      <p>Grammatical (C)ategories or Part-of-speech: Frequency of use of each
grammatical category; number and person of verbs and pronouns; mode of verb;
number of occurrences of proper nouns (NER) and non-dictionary words
(words not found in dictionary).
(E)moticons7: Ratio between the number of emoticons and the total number
of words; number of the di erent types of emoticons representing emotions:
joy, sadness, disgust, angry, surprise, derision and dumb.
(SEL) Spanish Emotion Lexicon: We obtained the Probability Factor of
Affective use value from the SEL dictionary for each lemma of each word. If
the lemma does not have an entry in the dictionary, we look for its
synonyms. We add all the values for each emotion, building one feature for each
emotion.</p>
      <p>We do not use any content/context dependent features in order to obtain
total independence from the topics.

        <title>Dataset</title>
        <p>In the following sections, we describe the raw dataset, the labeling process and
the machine learning approaches.</p>
        <p>
          We focused on social media since we are interested in everyday language and
how it re ects basic social and personality processes. Due to that, we chose
Facebook comments in Spanish language as the source of data for our
experiments. Facebook comments have the freedom of expression (and style) without
editorial guidelines unlike traditional media like newsletters and the spontaneity
in the use of language unlike blogs. Facebook is massively used by people and the
expected a ectivity in such media is very high. Facebook also allows us to obtain
demographics such as gender, unlike similar media like Twitter, so that we will
be able to link this task with groundbreaking tasks such as Author Pro ling at
PAN 2013 [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>
          ].
        </p>
        <p>We also chose Spanish because although its high penetration in Internet8, the
amount of available resources is still low especially if compared with English. We
selected three thematics, with high volume of participation9, and susceptible of
emotional comments: politics, football and public gures. We balanced the data
by theme and gender.</p>
        <p>Neither selection nor cleaning has been done except for language ltering and
for ensuring that comments have some text (not only links). Information about
the dataset is shown in Table 4.1.</p>

Three independent annotators labeled 1,200 documents with the six basic
emotions of the Ekman's theory. Annotators were provided with the information
of Figure 2 that was obtained by Greenberg [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>
          ] on the basis of psychological
relationships of emotional states with the six basic emotions of Ekman. It is
remarkable that some secondary emotions are shared by more than one primary

emotion; for example, indignation (indignacion) is shared by anger and disgust,
and fascination (fascinacion) is shared by joy and surprise. This issue hinders
the unique identi cation of such basic emotions, as it was evidenced in [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref19">19</xref>
          ].
Besides, the identi cation of multiple emotions and the absence of any has been
allowed.
        </p>
        <p>
          We calculated the inter-annotator agreement with the Kappa DS method
[
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
          ], which allows multiple annotators (three in our case: A1, A2 and A3) and
multinomial variables (six not mutually exclusive, the six basic emotions). We
show results in Table 4.2.
        </p>
        <p>A1 A2 A3 REST
A1 - 0.0587 0.2738 0.1662

A3 0.2738 0.1042 - 0.1890</p>
        <p>TOT 0.1455</p>
        <p>
          The average value for Kappa, equal to 0.1455, shows a low index of agreement
according to the recommendations of [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>
          ]. But, as it is shown by [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
          ], we have
to bear in mind the amount of variables intervening in the evaluation for the
right interpretation of such index, that makes it not comparable to their
original recommendation. We also grouped the nearest emotions, those which share
secondary emotions, as we highlighted in gure 2: joy / surprise and anger /
disgust. Results are shown in table 4.2. In this case, Kappa shows a higher value
for the agreement, what suggests us that we have to bear in mind such
discordance among annotators when assessing the results, especially with respect to
joy/surprise and anger/disgust.
        </p>
        <p>A1 A2 A3 REST

        <p>TOT 0.6016</p>
        <p>The nal selection of emotional tags for each document has been based on
the concordance of at least two of three annotators. Figures are shown in table
4.2. The low number of documents labeled with the fear category did not allow
us to perform experiments with this emotion.</p>

A binary classi er has been proposed for each emotion with the aim to determine
whether a given text contains such emotion. Each classi er was trained with the
labeled examples for its emotion as a positive samples, and with the rest as
negative samples. The evaluation method was 10-fold cross validation.</p>
        <p>We carried out two di erent evaluations, as in SemEval 2007, the rst one
based on Pearson's Kappa to measure the correlation between the obtained result
and the random chance, and the second one based on precision, recall and F1.</p>
        <p>We tested four learning algorithms implemented in Weka10 with their default
parameters: J48 trees, Naive Bayes, Bayes Net and Support Vector Machines.

      <p>The objective was to obtain an automatic method for identifying emotions in
Facebook comments in Spanish language, attempting the maximum
independence from the thematics and trying to link the emotional information with
other personal dimensions such as gender. Our starting hypothesis was the style
features described in Section 3.

        <title>Emotions identi cation</title>
        <p>Style features were enriched with the information of the SEL a ective dictionary,
allowing the construction of an adequate and competitive model for identifying
emotions. We retrieved the described features in Section 3 for training each
classi er and results are shown in Table 5.1. The best results obtained according
to each individual metric are marked in bold.</p>
        <p>We can appreciate that di erent methods have di erent strengths. J48 has
the highest precision in most of the cases at the cost of low recall. In similar
way, BayesNet obtains better recall but reducing precision, although it is the
best method in terms of F1. In terms of r, values seems to be less correlated
with the method. However in most cases the best methods are the statistical
ones (Naive Bayes and BayesNet).</p>
        <p>With respect to emotions, results for joy and surprise are the highest, mainly
for F1 measure, which correlates with the size of the training dataset. Results for
sadness are lower than the rest, probably due to the fact that the total number
of documents labeled for this emotion is much lower than for the rest (see Table
4.2). This fact implies some dependency of the machine learning approach with
the number of samples used in the training and it must be studied further by
the parametrization of the methods.</p>
        <p>It is necessary to remark the lower results of the SVM method in some
experiments, due to the imbalance of the class and the small amount of training
data, being this method more sensible to both factors. This could be improved
by tunning its con guration parameters.</p>
        <p>The proposed features, all independent from thematics and mainly based on
the style of writing, achieved competitive results compared to the state-of-the-art
approaches in social media in the Spanish language.

        <title>Gender Identi cation</title>
        <p>In order to link emotions with demographics, we carried out an experiment
consisting in using the features we used for identifying emotions, to learn a new
10 http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/
model to identify gender of the authors of the Facebook comments. The
hypothesis was that proposed features, which describe the authors' style of writing,
could be useful for identifying personal dimensions such as gender.</p>
        <p>We trained the Support Vector Machine method implemented in Weka. We
experimented with di erent parameters and nally used a Gaussian kernel with
g=0.01 and c=3,500. Results for gender identi cation are shown in Table 5.2.</p>
        <p>Gender Acc r</p>
        <p>Male / Female 59.0 18.0</p>
        <p>
          An r value equal to 18.0 means that the classi er works over the random
chance and suggests that style features provide some kind of information about
the gender, as [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">11</xref>
          ] showed for English. An accuracy value of 59.0 allows us
to think that our method is competitive for such task in comparison with
approaches presented in the Author Pro ling task at PAN 2013. We plan to perform
further experiments with the dataset provided for this task.
        </p>
        <p>The fact that features used for identifying emotions allowed us to identify
gender with a good accuracy, suggests that there is a certain correlation between
the use of emotions and the gender of the authors.

      <title>Conclusions and Future Work</title>
      <p>We have built a dataset of Facebook comments for Spanish, manually labeled
it with six basic emotions from Ekman's theory and carried out a Kappa-DS
analysis of concordance.</p>
      <p>We have proposed a method for automatically identifying emotions based on
a combination of stylistic features with the use of the SEL a ective dictionary,
obtaining competitive results. We have also veri ed the di culty to label, even
for a human, among primary emotions which share secondary emotions, as is
the case of joy and surprise, or anger and disgust.</p>
      <p>Finally, we have employed the proposed approach for identifying authors'
gender, showing that style features provide certain information valuable for such
task.</p>
      <p>As a future work we plan to investigate further what are the most relevant
features for identifying emotions and gender, and their possible relationship. We
will investigate the identi cation of combined emotions (joy and anger will be
joined respectively with surprise and disgust ), in order to verify if the current
results are due to the di culty of discriminating such emotions. We also plan
to carry out with the PAN-AP13 dataset for the identi cation of gender and
age. For that, we will include the detected emotions as new features in order
to investigate the relationship between emotions and demographics. Finally, we
aim at introducing some more features trying to obtain a better description of
the way people use language (e.g. collocations) and, therefore, analyze discourse
in depth).</p>
