Further releases

• We had one (female) native Chinese speaker annotate 30 classical and 30 modern Chinese poems according to the label scheme of PO-EMO
• The links to the data are here: 30 modern, 30 classical
• Before doing so, we had the annotator "train" on batches of 5-8 English poems until acceptable agreement was finally reached (see details: here and here)
• Subsequently, the annotator annotated further 15 modern and 15 classical poems.
