Abstract

We present the first automatic emotion detection system for Cantonese. This system classifies input text into eight emotion classes: expectancy, joy, love, surprise, anxiety, sorrow, angry, or hate. While a number of emotion corpora and lexica for Mandarin Chinese have been developed, no emotion dataset is available for Cantonese. We leverage existing Mandarin Chinese emotion resources to build the system, with support from Cantonese-Mandarin lexical mappings from a machine translation system, as well as English-Mandarin lexical mappings to handle code-switching in Cantonese input. Evaluation on a set of Cantonese sentences from social media shows promising results.
