GoEmotions experiment using wristwatch narratives

• This experiment is described in the blog post "Memories of wristwatches: the emotional measurement"
• It compares the results of 5 personal narratives about wristwatches and the official descriptions of these watches from the homepages of the producers
• The experiment uses the Google's "GoEmotions" colab
• The hypothesis was that the emotional spectrum should differ between the personal and official stories
• However, the results of the test indicate that the problem might be trickier than initially thought as some of the spectres have perfect match
• As no Google compute credits were used during the experiment, the method was trained with one epoch only
• All the results have been normalized to the second decimal place
• The test data with references is accessible in the "corpus.txt"
