    abstract = "Emotion detection from social media posts has attracted noticeable attention from natural language processing (NLP) community in recent years. The ways for obtaining gold labels for training and testing of the systems for automatic emotion detection differ significantly from one study to another, and pose the question of reliability of gold labels and obtained classification results. This study systematically explores several ways for obtaining gold labels for Ekman's emotion model on Twitter data and the influence of the chosen strategy on the manual classification results."}
