• Title: Why Do You Feel This Way? Summarizing Triggers of Emotions in Social Media Posts
• Authors: Hongli Zhan, Tiberiu Sosea, Cornelia Caragea and Junyi Jessy Li
• Abstract summary: We introduce CovidET (Emotions and their Triggers during Covid-19), a dataset of 1,900 English Reddit posts related to COVID-19. We develop strong baselines to jointly detect emotions and summarize emotion triggers. Our analyses show that CovidET presents new challenges in emotion-specific summarization, as well as multi-emotion detection in long social media posts.

• Abstract: Crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic continuously threaten our world and emotionally affect billions of people worldwide in distinct ways. Understanding the triggers leading to people's emotions is of crucial importance. Social media posts can be a good source of such analysis, yet these texts tend to be charged with multiple emotions, with triggers scattering across multiple sentences. This paper takes a novel angle, namely, emotion detection and trigger summarization, aiming to both detect perceived emotions in text, and summarize events and their appraisals that trigger each emotion. To support this goal, we introduce CovidET (Emotions and their Triggers during Covid-19), a dataset of ~1,900 English Reddit posts related to COVID-19, which contains manual annotations of perceived emotions and abstractive summaries of their triggers described in the post. We develop strong baselines to jointly detect emotions and summarize emotion triggers. Our analyses show that CovidET presents new challenges in emotion-specific summarization, as well as multi-emotion detection in long social media posts.

  Many emotion fundamentals remain under-explored in natural language processing. We treat emotions as strategies to cope with salient situations. We introduce the task of coping identification, together with a corpus to do so, constructed via role-playing.

The novelty of our dataset stems from its broad spectrum of emotion classes and the abstractive emotion cause. Our dataset will enable the design of emotion-aware systems that account for the diverse emotional responses of different people.

  We investigate how well human-annotated emotion triggers correlate with features deemed salient in their prediction of emotions. Using EmoTrigger, we evaluate the ability of large language models to identify emotion triggers. Our analysis reveals that emotion triggers are largely not considered salient features for emotion prediction models, instead there is intricate interplay between various features and the task of emotion detection.
