%0 Journal Article %T The Manifold of Human Emotions %A Seungyeon Kim %A Fuxin Li %A Guy Lebanon %A Irfan Essa %J Computer Science %D 2013 %I arXiv %X Sentiment analysis predicts the presence of positive or negative emotions in a text document. In this paper, we consider higher dimensional extensions of the sentiment concept, which represent a richer set of human emotions. Our approach goes beyond previous work in that our model contains a continuous manifold rather than a finite set of human emotions. We investigate the resulting model, compare it to psychological observations, and explore its predictive capabilities. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.3214v1
