Abstract

A method selectively activates a resource to accommodate an advanced emotion. A supervisor computer receives a first piece of content, and then applies an emotion classifier to the first piece of content in order to create a first concept/emotion/sentiment/time tuple. The supervisor computer creates a second concept/emotion/sentiment/time tuple for a second piece of content, and compares the first and second tuples. If the concept in the first piece of content matches the concept in the second piece of content but that at least one of the emotion, sentiment, and time of the first piece of content does not match the emotion, sentiment, and time of the second piece of content, the supervisor computer determines that the emotion of the second piece of content is an advanced emotion that is not expressed by the first or second pieces of content, and activates a resource that accommodates the advanced emotion.
