Sentic patterns: Dependency-based rules for concept-level sentiment analysis (2014, methodology): “These levels are also labeled as a set of 24 basic emotions [25], six for each of the affective dimensions, in a way that allows the model to specify the affective information associated with text both in a dimensional and a discrete form (Table 1).”
The spread of true and false news online (2018, background): “These eight emotions are based on Plutchik’s work on basic emotions [31].”
AffectiveSpace: Blending Common Sense and Affective Knowledge to Perform Emotive Reasoning (2009, methodology): “This model is a variant of Plutchik’s wheel of emotions [14] and constitutes an attempt to emulate Marvin Minsky’s conception of emotions.”
