  abstract  = {We describe EmoBank, a corpus of 10k English sentences balancing multiple
	genres, which we annotated with dimensional emotion metadata in the
	Valence-Arousal-Dominance (VAD) representation format. EmoBank excels with a
	bi-perspectival and bi-representational design. On the one hand, we distinguish
	between writer's and reader's emotions, on the other hand, a subset of the
	corpus complements dimensional VAD annotations with categorical ones based on
	Basic Emotions. We find evidence for the supremacy of the reader's
	perspective in terms of IAA and rating intensity, and achieve close-to-human
	performance when mapping between dimensional and categorical formats.},
