Abstract

This paper presents a text classifier for automatically tagging the sentiment of input text according to the emotion that is being conveyed. This system has a pipelined framework composed of Natural Language Processing modules for feature extraction and a hard binary classifier for decision making between positive and negative categories. To do so, the Semeval 2007 dataset composed of sentences emotionally annotated is used for training purposes after being mapped into a model of affect. The resulting scheme stands a first step towards a complete emotion classifier for a future automatic expressive text-to-speech synthesizer.
