Using interval type-2 fuzzy logic to translate emotion words from Spanish to English

In this paper we describe a methodology that uses interval type-2 fuzzy logic to translate words that refer to emotions from Spanish to English. We build on previous research that aimed to map between emotional labels used in different natural language corpora. In this paper we extend our previous work by showing how a similar method can be used to translate between languages. First, we show how this methodology relates to other fuzzy logic emotion research, then we describe it, and finally show it in use and discuss its results.
