SemEval-2018 Task 1: Affect in Tweets
Open accessAbstract
We present the SemEval-2018 Task 1: Affect in Tweets, which includes an array of subtasks on inferring the affectual state of a person from their tweet.For each task, we created labeled data from English, Arabic, and Spanish tweets.The individual tasks are: 1. emotion intensity regression, 2. emotion intensity ordinal classification, 3. valence (sentiment) regression, 4. valence ordinal classification, and 5. emotion classification.Seventy-five teams (about 200 team members) participated in the shared task.We summarize the methods, resources, and tools used by the participating teams, with a focus on the techniques and resources that are particularly useful.We also analyze systems for consistent bias towards a particular race or gender.The data is made freely available to further improve our understanding of how people convey emotions through language.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“However, most existing models for MLEC do not capture emotion-specific associations that can be useful for the classification of emotions [7], [9], [10].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
