Abstract
Emotion analysis is currently a popular research direction in the field of natural language processing. However, existing research focuses primarily on tasks such as emotion classification, emotion extraction, and emotion cause analysis, while there are few investigations into the relationship between emotions and their impacts. To address these limitations, this paper introduces the emotion-driven behavior extraction (EDBE) task, which addresses these limitations by separately extracting emotions and behaviors to filter emotion-driven behaviors described in text. EDBE comprises three sub-tasks: emotion extraction, behavior extraction, and emotion–behavior pair filtering. To facilitate research in this domain, we have created a new dataset, which is accessible to the research community. To address the EDBE task, we propose a pipeline approach that incorporates the causal relationship between emotions and driven behaviors. Additionally, we adopt the prompt paradigm to improve the model’s representation of cause-and-effect relationships. In comparison to state-of-the-art methods, our approach demonstrates notable improvements, achieving a 1.32% improvement at the clause level and a 1.55% improvement at the span level on our newly curated dataset in terms of the F1 score, which is a commonly used metric to measure the performance of models. These results underscore the effectiveness and superiority of our approach in relation to existing methods.
