However, there exists no microblog corpus with instances labeled for emotions for developing supervised systems. In this paper, we describe how we created such a corpus from Twitter posts using emotionword hashtags. We conduct experiments to show that the self-labeled hashtag annotations are consistent and match with the annotations of trained judges. We also show how the Twitter emotion corpus can be used to improve emotion classification accuracy in a different domain. Finally, we extract a word-emotion association lexicon from this Twitter corpus, and show that it leads to significantly better results than the manually crafted WordNet Affect lexicon in an emotion classification task. 1",

Socio-linguistic researchers point out that Twitter is primarily a means for people to converse with other individuals, groups, and the world in general (Boyd et al., 2010) . As tweets are freely accessible to all, the conversations can take on non-traditional forms such as discussions developing through many voices rather than just two interlocuters. For example, the use of Twitter and Facebook has been credited with providing momentum to the 2011 Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street movements (Skinner, 2011; Ray, 2011) . Understanding how such conversations develop, how people influence one another through emotional expressions, and how news is shared to elicit certain emotional reactions, are just some of the compelling reasons to develop better models for the emotion analysis of social media.",

They use ngram features such as unigrams and bigrams (individual words and two-word sequences) (Aman and Szpakowicz, 2007; Neviarouskaya et al., 2009; Mohammad, 2012b) . However, these methods require labeled data where utterances are marked with the emotion they express. Manual annotation is timeintensive and costly. Thus only a small amount of such text exists. Further, supervised algorithms that rely on ngram features tend to classify accurately only if trained on data from the same domain as the target sentences (Mohammad, 2012b).

Bolen et al. 2009measured tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, and confusion in tweets. One of the advantages of our work is that we can easily collect tweets with hashtags for many emotions, well beyond the basic six. Go et al. (2009) and Gonz\u00e1lez-Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez et al. (2011) noted that sometimes people use the hashtag #sarcasm to indicate that their tweet is sarcastic. They collected tweets with hashtags of #sarcasm and #sarcastic to create a dataset of sarcastic tweets. We follow their ideas and collect tweets with hashtags pertaining to different emotions. Additionally, we present several experiments to validate that the emotion labels in the corpus are consistent and match intuitions of trained judges.",

"text": "The Archivist 5 is a free online service that helps users extract tweets using Twitter's Search API. 6 For any given query, Archivist first obtains up to 1500 tweets from the previous seven days. Subsequently, it polls the Twitter Search API every few hours to obtain newer tweets that match the query. We supplied Archivist with the six hashtag queries corresponding to the Ekman emotions, and collected about 50,000 tweets from those posted between November 15, 2011 and December 6, 2011. We discarded tweets that had fewer than three valid English words. We used the Roget Thesaurus as the lexicon of English words. 7 This helped filter out most, if not all, of the non-English tweets that had English emotion hashtags. It also eliminated very short phrases, and some expressions with very bad spelling. We discarded tweets with the prefix \"Rt\", \"RT\", and \"rt\", which indicate that the messages that follow are re-tweets (re-postings of tweets sent earlier by somebody else). Like Gonz\u00e1lez-Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez et al. 2011, we removed tweets that did not have the hashtag of interest at the end of the message. It has been suggested that middle-of-tweet hashtags may not be good labels of the tweets. 8 Finally, we were left with about 21,000 tweets, which formed the Twitter Emotion Corpus (TEC). Table 3 presents some details of the TEC. Observe that the distribution of emotions in the TEC is very different from the distribution of emotions in the 1000-headlines corpus (see Table 1 ).

"text": "As mentioned earlier, supervised algorithms perform well when training and test data are from the same domain. However, certain domain adaptation algorithms may be used to combine training data in the target domain with large amounts of training data from a different source domain. The Daum\u00e9 (2007) approach involves the transformation of the original training instance feature vector into a new space made up of three copies of the original vector. The three copies correspond to the target domain, the source domain, and the general domain. If X represents an original feature vector from the target domain, then it is transformed into XOX, where O is a zero vector. If X represents original feature vector from the source domain, then it is transformed into OXX. This data is given to the learning algorithm, which learns information specific to the target domain, specific to the source domain, as well as information that applies to both domains. The test instance feature vector (which is from the target domain) is transformed to XOX. Therefore, the classifier applies information specific to the target domain as well as information common to both the target and source domains, but not information specific only to the source domain.",
