I became interested in this work around 2014 when the IBM Watson was still in development and under a different project name. Sentiment attracted me as a possible insight tool in to how my writing might be perceived (A troubling assessment for most writers). AI seemed to be the answer to the age old writer question "so, how does this sound?" In fact most of what they were into -- all of the AI threads and goals -- appeared to be massively useful to the writing community.
The first think I learned about the Sentiment Analyzer, was it was based off Seven Primary Emotions -- which threw all kinds of flags around for me. There quite a few more emotions that that, primary or not. Later I would discover that Primary, supposedly described the emotions which through expression utilized the same muscle groups across the world and even into the animal world. That was interesting, but hardly useful if that's all sentiment was going to be able to accomplish -- Good or Bad or Meh based on three positive and four negative descriptors.
I've been off the trail for a few months now. But decided to put out something on Positive emotions, sense those appear to be hard to define.
