# GoEmotions (Preprocessed)

## Dataset Description

This dataset contains a **preprocessed and standardized version of GoEmotions** for **multi-label emotion classification**.  
It is designed for seamless use with **transformer-based language models** and consistent benchmarking alongside other emotion datasets.

The preprocessing ensures unified label representations and removes unnecessary metadata while preserving the original semantic and emotional content.

---

## Supported Tasks

- Multi-label emotion classification
- Emotion representation learning
- Cross-dataset benchmarking

---

## Dataset Structure

The dataset is split into:

- `train`
- `validation`
- `test`

Each split follows the same schema.

---

## Data Format

Each example consists of:

- **`text`** (`string`): Preprocessed text input
- **`labels`** : Multi-one-hot encoded emotion labels (length = 28)

Each label is binary:
- `1` → emotion present  
- `0` → emotion absent  

Multiple emotions may be active for a single sample.

| 0 | Admiration |
| 1 | Amusement |
| 2 | Anger |
| 3 | Annoyance |
| 4 | Approval |
| 5 | Caring |
| 6 | Confusion |
| 7 | Curiosity |
| 8 | Desire |
| 9 | Disappointment |
| 10 | Disapproval |
| 11 | Disgust |
| 12 | Embarrassment |
| 13 | Excitement |
| 14 | Fear |
| 15 | Gratitude |
| 16 | Grief |
| 17 | Joy |
| 18 | Love |
| 19 | Nervousness |
| 20 | Optimism |
| 21 | Pride |
| 22 | Realization |
| 23 | Relief |
| 24 | Remorse |
| 25 | Sadness |
| 26 | Surprise |
| 27 | Neutral |

## Preprocessing Details

The following preprocessing steps were applied:

- Conversion to **multi-one-hot label encoding**
- Standardization to a fixed **28-class emotion space**
- Removal of extraneous metadata
- Text normalization
- Preprocessing applied **before tokenization**

---

## Intended Use

This dataset is intended for:

- Training and evaluating multi-label emotion classifiers
- Transformer-based NLP experiments
- Emotion analysis and representation learning

---

## Limitations

- The dataset contains **preprocessed text only**
- Raw GoEmotions data is not included
- Emotion annotations reflect annotator perception and may contain subjectivity

---
