Abstract

Current online public opinion analysis systems can explore lots of hot events and present the public emotion distribution for each event, which are useful for the governments and companies. However, the public emotion distributions are just the shallow analysis of the hot events, more and more people want to know the hidden causation behind the emotion distributions. Thus, this paper presents a deep Event-Emotion analysis system on Microblogs to reveal what causes different emotions of a hot event. We here use several related sub-events to describe a hot event in different perspectives, accordingly these sub-events combined with their different emotion distributions can be used to explain the total emotion distribution of a hot event. Experiments on 15 hot events show that the above idea is reasonable to exploit the emotion causation and can help people better understand the evolution of the hot event. Furthermore, this deep Event-Emotion analysis system also tracks the amount treads and emotion treads of the hot event, and presents the deep analysis based on the user profile.
