Proposed Literature

To my knowledge, there is no book on emotion analysis from text. Recommended literature is still available and provides a nice overview on the topic, but typically does not go so much in details as we do in this class.

We recommend:

• The book on affective computing by Rosalind W. Picard.. This book is broader than this class and discusses emotions and affect as it is modelled with computers in more general.
• The book on sentiment analysis by Bing Liu (online version is available here). This book focuses on text analysis, but more on opinion mining and sentiment analysis, less on emotions.
• The handbook of emotions by Feldman Barrett, Lewis, Haviland-Jones. This book provides a very good overview on the theories of emotions from a psychological perspective.
