Abstract
In order to analyze emotional state and movement for desirable life, we considered a topological analysis of mind for the representative people whom were, in this case, athletes. The utterances were acquired from online articles that included statements they made during interviews. The sampled data was processed with TF-IDF, BLSOM, and fuzzy clustering technique. The resultant mapping provides a typical emotional state and movement in the extracted axes so that one can discuss the athletes’ psychological transition on this map. The proposed procedure was significantly effective at presenting the player’s emotional interest and motivation.
