Abstract

Emotion knowledge is a fundamental part of human commonsense knowledge. For the lack of solid knowledge extraction work in this domain, this paper focuses on acquiring and representing the antecedent situations of various emotions as well as the emotion subjects’ interpretation to these situations in real-world emotion-eliciting scenarios. After a comprehensive analysis on the meaning structure of three critical notions in emotion understanding and modeling (i.e. role, context and event), this paper introduces a pragmatic emotion knowledge acquisition method and presents a context-restricted, role-oriented, frame-based representational model of emotion knowledge, with a case study which demonstrates the applicability of the model.
