Emotion Dataset
This is a dataset that can be used for emotion classification. It has already been preprocessed based on the approach described in our paper. It is also stored as a pandas dataframe and ready to be used in an NLP pipeline.
Note that the version of the data provided here corresponds to a six emotions variant that's meant to be used for educational and research purposes.

Notebooks
Here is a notebook showing how to use it for fine-tuning a pretrained language model for the task of emotion classification.
Here is another notebook which shows how to fine-tune T5 model for emotion classification along with other tasks.
Here is also a hosted fine-tuned model on HuggingFace which you can directly use for inference in your NLP pipeline.

abstract = "Emotions are expressed in nuanced ways, which varies by collective or individual experiences, knowledge, and beliefs. Therefore, to understand emotion, as conveyed through text, a robust mechanism capable of capturing and modeling different linguistic nuances and phenomena is needed. We propose a semi-supervised, graph-based algorithm to produce rich structural descriptors which serve as the building blocks for constructing contextualized affect representations from text. The pattern-based representations are further enriched with word embeddings and evaluated through several emotion recognition tasks. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art techniques on emotion recognition tasks.",
