Description
Summary:Emotions are integral to human social interactions, with diverse responses elicited by various situational contexts. Particularly, the prevalence of negative emotional states has been correlated with negative outcomes for mental health, necessitating a comprehensive analysis of their occurrence and impact on individuals. In this paper, we introduce a novel dataset named DepressionEmo designed to detect 8 emotions associated with depression by 6037 examples of long Reddit user posts. This dataset was created through a majority vote over inputs by zero-shot classifications from pre-trained models and validating the quality by annotators and ChatGPT, exhibiting an acceptable level of inter-rater reliability between annotators. The correlation between emotions, and linguistic analysis are conducted on DepressionEmo. Besides, we provide several text classification methods classified into two groups: machine learning methods such as SVM, XGBoost, and LightGBM; and deep learning methods such as BERT, BART, GAN-BERT, and T5. Despite achieving the same F1 Macro score of 0.76 as BART, the pretrained BERT model, bert-base-uncased, stands out as the most efficient model in our experiments due to its lower number of parameters. Across all emotions, the highest F1 Macro value is achieved by suicide intent, indicating a certain value of our dataset in identifying emotions in individuals with depression symptoms through text analysis.
