abstract = "In this paper, an intelligent e-counselling system for automatic detection of emotion in text is evaluated. A support vector machine classifier was used for the development of the e-counselling system, hence we compared the performance of the e-counselling system{\textquoteright}s classifier with WEKA{\textquoteright}s Multinomial Na{\"i}ve-Bayes and J48 decision tree classifiers. While this paper is geared towards ascertaining the efficacy of the various classifiers for classifying emotions in learners{\textquoteright} generated text content, this paper also aims to ascertain the performance of the e-counselling system for complementing decision making concerning students in counselling delivery. In building the system, an annotated students{\textquoteright} life story corpus was developed and used for the experiment. Therefore, 85% of the total instances of the life stories was used as training data while the remaining 15% was used as test data with sample instances of real-time data from students{\textquoteright} textual submission through the e-counselling system. The results of the experiment show that the SVM, implemented in our proposed e-counselling system, is superior over the MNB and J48 classifiers.",
