We develop a large-scale emotion-labeled dataset, called the Korean Movie Review Emotion (KMRE) dataset. The method for constructing this dataset is described in detail in our paper which is accepted by LREC 2020.

We construct the KMRE dataset annotated with six types of emotions by applying our presented procedure to the Naver Sentiment Movie Corpus (NSMC) in Korean. The detail of NSMC is described in here. Additionally, we constructed the KMRE dataset by exploiting n-gram-based distant supervision and Korean-specific-features-based distant supervision.

The statistics of the KMRE dataset is as follows:

Table shows the number of sentence per dataset and emotion distributions (%) of KMRE dataset.

• The KMRE dataset has six types of emotions except the emotion neutral, because there were no neutral reviews in the NSMC

  • Anger, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Sadness, Surprise

• Each file was stored in the pickle module

import pickle as pc

with open('data/kmre_train', 'rb') as f:
    kmre_train_data = pc.load(f)
