论文摘要
单词在我们表达自己的方式中起着核心作用。单词情感关联的词典被广泛用于研究和现实世界中的情感分析，跟踪与产品和政策相关的情绪，研究健康障碍，跟踪故事的情感弧线等。但是，这些词典的不适当和不正确的使用不仅会导致次优的结果，而且会导致对人们直接有害的推论。本文汇集了情感计算和AI伦理学的想法，以介绍一些实用和道德的考虑，其中涉及情感词典的创建和使用 - 最佳实践。目的是提供一系列相关的考虑因素，以便读者（尤其是那些新手的情感工作的读者）可以在一个地方找到相关信息。我们希望这项工作将促进更加周到的思想，当一个人决定要进行哪些情绪，如何创建情感词典，如何使用情感词典，如何提出有意义的推论以及如何判断成功。
Words play a central role in how we express ourselves. Lexicons of word-emotion associations are widely used in research and real-world applications for sentiment analysis, tracking emotions associated with products and policies, studying health disorders, tracking emotional arcs of stories, and so on. However, inappropriate and incorrect use of these lexicons can lead to not just sub-optimal results, but also inferences that are directly harmful to people. This paper brings together ideas from Affective Computing and AI Ethics to present, some of the practical and ethical considerations involved in the creation and use of emotion lexicons -- best practices. The goal is to provide a comprehensive set of relevant considerations, so that readers (especially those new to work with emotions) can find relevant information in one place. We hope this work will facilitate more thoughtfulness when one is deciding on what emotions to work on, how to create an emotion lexicon, how to use an emotion lexicon, how to draw meaningful inferences, and how to judge success.
