Table 3: Percentage of terms with majority class of no, weak, moderate, and strong emotion.
['Emotion', '[BOLD] Intensity no', '[BOLD] Intensity weak', '[BOLD] Intensity moderate', '[BOLD] Intensity strong']
The different emotion annotations for a target term were consolidated by determining the majority class of emotion intensities. For a given term–emotion pair, the majority class is that intensity level that is chosen most often by the Turkers to represent the degree of emotion evoked by the word. Ties are broken by choosing the stronger intensity level. For example, it tells us that 5% of the target terms strongly evoke joy. The table also presents averages of the numbers in each column (micro-averages). The last row lists the percentage of target terms that evoke some emotion (any of the eight) at the various intensity levels. We calculated this using the intensity level of the strongest emotion expressed by each target. Observe that 22.5% of the target terms strongly evoke at least one of the eight basic emotions.
