AI Analysis
This provides a new tool for Finnish NLP tasks, but it is incremental as it adapts existing methods to a new language.
The authors tackled the lack of Finnish sentiment and emotion resources by creating SELF and FEIL, the first comprehensive lexicons for Finnish, using projected annotations from NRC with edited translations.
This paper introduces a Sentiment and Emotion Lexicon for Finnish (SELF) and a Finnish Emotion Intensity Lexicon (FEIL). We describe the lexicon creation process and evaluate the lexicon using some commonly available tools. The lexicon uses annotations projected from the NRC Emotion Lexicon with carefully edited translations. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive sentiment and emotion lexicon for Finnish.
