"text": "Emotion Analysis is still a challenging task in NLP (Natural Language Processing); the researchers try to recognize not only emotions \"generally speaking\" but also their intensity. Because the level of subjectivity is particularly high in this matter, prediction of emotions, mainly in text, demands for continuous research and improvement strategies. SemEval competition has already a tradition in developing tasks to address this subject. This year proposed an even more challenging task: emotion intensity prediction in tweets.",

For instance, in the paper of Sreekanth Maunendra and Sankar Desarkar (2017) there were implemented three regression methods: (1) content-based features (ex. hashtags, emoticons); (2) training based on word and character n-grams; and finally (3) lexicons, word embeddings, word n-grams and character n-grams all together.",

"text": "This research is oriented towards the first two tasks of SemEval so it will contain two components, one for Task EI-reg and the other one for Task EI-oc. The first step was to preprocess the development data set in multiple stages as follows: basic cleaning (Ids, useless stopwords, emoticons), tokenization and parsing to make data less repetitive. Then we apply the NN Tensor Flow model, the basic one, offered by Python with 600 neurons and with a layer of 1 to 1000. The neural network was trained separately for each language using the same configuration. Once we obtained the results, we applied a Decision Tree Algorithm in order to refine them. For all subtasks we use Neural Network Tensor Flow (NNTF): Analyzing Tweet's Sentiment with Character-Level LSTMs NN Tensor Flowpython implemented neuronal network with the same parameters for the EI-oc subtask, we improved our results by implementing also the classifiers from pattern.vector. The algorithms are based on three big approaches -they implement the Naive Bayes, KNN and SVM classifiers respectively. Even though machine learning and neural networks gave decent result, the difficulty in controlling the actual reasoning implied the necessity of adding a refining algorithm that would improve final results. An algorithm that would meet this condition is the Decision Tree Classification, a Weka J48 implementation that was improved by adding an algorithm used to generate same decision trees: check for base classification (this classification should be done by the first method described in this paper -NN Tensor Flow); for each score/class; find the normalized score; best_score will be the highest normalized score, this will be the root; create a decision node that splits on best_score; search on the sublists obtained by splitting on best_score; add those nodes as child of node.",
