Mixing and Matching Emotion Frameworks: Investigating Cross-Framework Transfer Learning for Dutch Emotion Detection

Emotion detection has become a growing field of study, especially seeing its broad application potential. Research usually focuses on emotion classification, but performance tends to be rather low, especially when dealing with more advanced emotion categories that are tailored to specific tasks and domains. Therefore, we propose the use of the dimensional emotion representations valence, arousal and dominance (VAD), in an emotion regression task. Firstly, we hypothesize that they can improve performance of the classification task, and secondly, they might be used as a pivot mechanism to map to... Mehr ...
