This paper presents a novel semantic analysis system aimed at recognizing emotions expressed in Chinese verbs. The SEEN system utilizes syntactic and morphological analysis based on Hidden Markov Models and statistical parsing methods. By examining 80 sentences, we achieved 100% accuracy in identifying semantic dependencies along with decision tree classification techniques. Our approach particularly focuses on distinguishing emotions "felt toward" and "felt by" entities, leading to improved recognition in natural language processing applications. The final system accuracy reaches 85.1% through rule-based corrections.

Introduction • Semantic analysis helps to understand the roles and relations between objects, humans, etc. in the sentence. • In this paper, we propose a system for understanding emotion in Chinese verbs. • The emotion “felt toward” and “felt by” can be known.

Semantic Dependency Assignment • Decision Tree Classifier • 4 Features • Phrase Type • Headword & Dependent • Headword & DependentPart-of-Speech • Context • Accuracy 84%
Experimentation • 80 sentences (10 sentences per predicate) were collected and examined. • Negated emotions in English are not looked at. The semantic dependency was manually given. • The accuracy was 100%.
Experimentation • Example of a Currently Unclassifiable Sentence
SEEN System (After) • DT Classifier -> Probabilistic Classification • Add Rule-Based Correction • Accuracy increase to 85.1%
