Attention-based Modeling for Emotion Detection and Classification in Textual Conversations

14 Jun 2019  ·  Waleed Ragheb, Jérôme Azé, Sandra Bringay, Maximilien Servajean ·

This paper addresses the problem of modeling textual conversations and detecting emotions. Our proposed model makes use of 1) deep transfer learning rather than the classical shallow methods of word embedding; 2) self-attention mechanisms to focus on the most important parts of the texts and 3) turn-based conversational modeling for classifying the emotions. The approach does not rely on any hand-crafted features or lexicons. Our model was evaluated on the data provided by the SemEval-2019 shared task on contextual emotion detection in text. The model shows very competitive results.
