Abstract
In this study, we create an emotion lexicon for the Hindi language called Hindi EmotionNet. It can assign emotional affinity to words in IndoWordNet. This lexicon contains 3,839 emotion words, with 1,246 positive and 2,399 negative words. We also introduce ambiguous (217 words) and neutral (95 words) emotions to Hindi. Positive emotion words covered nine types of positive emotions, negative emotion words covered eleven types of negative emotions, ambiguous emotion words covered seven types of ambiguous emotions, and neutral emotion words covered two neutral emotions. The proposed Hindi EmotionNet was then applied to opinion classification and emotion classification. We introduce a centrality-based approach for emotion classification that uses degree, closeness, betweenness, and page rank as centrality measures. We also created a dataset of Hindi based on screenplays, stories, and blogs in the language. We translated emotion data from SemEval 2017 into Hindi for further comparison. The proposed approach delivered promising results on opinion and emotion classification, with an accuracy of 85.78% for the former and 75.91% for the latter.
