This paper presents our contextual emotion detection system in approaching the SemEval2019 shared task 3: EmoContext: Contextual Emotion Detection in Text. This system cooperates with an emotion detection neural network method (Poria et al., 2017), emoji2vec (Eisner et al., 2016) embedding, word2vec embedding (Mikolov et al., 2013), and our proposed emoticon and emoji preprocessing method. The experimental results demonstrate the usefulness of our emoticon and emoji prepossessing method, and representations of emoticons and emoji contribute model’s emotion detection.
