Emotion-Cause Pair Extraction: A New Task to Emotion Analysis in Texts
Table 1: The proportion of documents with different number of emotion-cause pairs in the merged dataset.
['[EMPTY]', 'Number', 'Percentage']
Since there was no directly available corpus for the ECPE task, we constructed a ECPE corpus based on the benchmark ECE corpus Gui et al. Documents having two or more emotions are split into several samples such that each contains only one emotion. In order to better meet the ECPE task settings, we merged the documents with the same text content into one document, and labeled each emotion, cause pair in this document.
