    abstract = "This paper introduces an improved method for emotion classification through the integration of emotion lexicons and pre-trained word embeddings. The proposed method utilizes semantically similar features to reconcile the semantic gap between words and emotions. The proposed approach is compared against three baselines for predicting Ekman`s emotions at the document level on the GoEmotions dataset. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is assessed using standard evaluation metrics, which show at least a 5{\%} gain in performance over baselines."
