Requirements:

System packages

Python 3.6+
git

Installing Python dependencies

pip3 install requests sh click
pip3 install regex docopt numpy sklearn scipy, if you want to use classify_xvsy_logreg.py
git clone [email protected]:sarnthil/unify-emotion-datasets.git

This will create a new folder called unify-emotion-datasets.

Running the two scripts

First run the script that downloads all obtainable datasets:

cd unify-emotion-datasets # go inside the repository
python3 download_datasets.py

Please read carefully the instructions, you will be asked to read and confirm having read the licenses and terms of use of each dataset. In case the dataset is not obtainable directly you will be given instructions on how to obtain the dataset.

Then run the script that unifies the downloaded datasets, which will be located in unify-emotion-datasets/datasets/:

python3 create_unified_dataset.py

This will create a new file called unified-dataset.jsonl in the same folder.

Also, we advise you to cite the papers corresponding to the datasets you use. The corresponding bibtex citations you find in the file datasets/README.md or while running download_datasets.py.

Experimenting with classification

If you want to reuse the code for the emotion classification task, see the script classify_xvsy_logreg.py:

python3 classify_xvsy_logreg.py --help will show you the following:

Classify using MaxEnt algorithm

Usage:
    classify_xvsy_logreg.py [options] <first> <second>
    classify_xvsy_logreg.py [options] --all-vs <second>

Options:
    -j --json=<JSONFILE>  Filename of the json file [default: ../unified.jsonl]
    -a --all-vs<=dataset> Dataset name of the testing data
    -d --debug            Use a small word list and a fast classifier
    -o --output=<OUTPUT>  Output folder [default: .]
    -m --force-multi      Force using multi-label classification
    -k --keep-last        Quit immediately if results file found

For example if you want to train on TEC and test on SSEC do the following:

python3 classify_xvsy_logreg.py -d tec emoint

The names of the dataset are the ones used in the file unified-dataset.jsonl in the field source.

Tip

Use jq for an easy interaction with the unified-dataset.jsonl

Examples of how to use it for various tasks:

selecting the instances of that have as a source crowdflower or tec jq 'select(.source=="crowdflower" or .source =="tec")' <unified-dataset.jsonl | less
count how often instances are annotated with high surprise per dataset jq 'select(.emotions.surprise >0.5) | .source' <unified-dataset.jsonl | sort | uniq -c
