Abstract

With the increasing interest in multimedia annotation, emotion annotation is being recognized as an essential resource which can be applied for a variety of purposes, including video information retrieval and dialogue systems. Here we introduce an automatic emotion annotation schema for dialogues, which could be used for the retrieval of specific scenes in film. Distinguished from previous works, we apply a new approach using the hypernym/hyponym relations and synonyms of WordNet, which enables us to organize a novel set of emotional concepts and to automatically detect whether a specific emotional word is associated with a specified emotional concept through measuring the conceptual distance between them.
