Discover the emotion expressed in a text

Emotions are of paramount importance in people's lives, and greatly influence their perceptions and thoughts. MeaningCloud’s Emotion Recognition Pack allows to detect basic emotions expressed in all types of unstructured content (surveys, social comments, contact center interactions) according to a model based on well-known Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions.

Text Analytics for Emotion Recognition

Emotions play a prominent role in the individual and social life of people and have a great impact on their behavior and judgment. MeaningCloud’s Emotion Recognition Pack applies advanced text analytics to identify emotions that are explicitly expressed in all types of unstructured content. Using Emotion Recognition you can easily and quickly analyze thousands of messages in surveys, social networks, review sites, contact center interactions and extract that information that will let you know how your customers or employees feel or take the emotional pulse of your market or society.

The Emotion Recognition Pack is based on Robert Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions, a psycho-evolutionary classification approach for general emotional responses. Plutchik considered that there are eight of those primary responses, distributed in pairs of opposite emotions, and that they are triggers of behaviors with high survival value.

A model for recognizing emotions

MeaningCloud’s Emotion Recognition Pack is implemented as a granular categorization model that allows the identification of the following emotions, explicitly expressed in the text:

  • Joy: happiness, pleasure.
  • Sadness: grief, unhappiness.
  • Anger: rage, annoyance.
  • Fear: alarm, terror.
  • Confidence: security, decision.
  • Disgust: repulsion, aversion.
  • Anticipation: foresight, expectation.
  • Surprise: amazement, astonishment.

This model runs on our Deep Categorization API, which is based on MeaningCloud’s powerful morphosyntactic and semantic analysis.
