# KPoEMEmotionClassification

Multi-label **Korean modern poetry emotion classification** for PoetryMTEB, derived from [KPoEM](https://zenodo.org/records/15598092) (KOTE 44 emotions; 5 expert annotators).

Two configs mirror the upstream dual annotation layers:

| Config | Unit | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `line` (default) | Verse line | Local emotion cues (lines partially shuffled upstream) |
| `poem` | Work / segment | Full-context emotion labels |

| **Poets** | 김소월, 윤동주, 임화, 이상, 한용운 |
| **Labels** | Multi-label subset of **44** KOTE emotions |
| **Aggregation** | Majority vote **≥3/5** annotators; if empty, keep top-vote emotion(s) |
| **Splits** | Shared **poem_id** split stratified by poet ≈ 80% / 10% / 10%, seed=42 (no poem crosses splits) |

## Features

### `line`

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `id` | string | Example id |
| `poem_id` | string | Poem id (split key) |
| `line_id` | string | Upstream line id |
| `title` | string | Poem title |
| `poet` | string | Poet |
| `poem` | string | **Line** text (classification input) |
| `labels` | list[int64] | Emotion indices |
| `label_names` | list[string] | Emotion names (Korean / KOTE) |
| `label_names_en` | list[string] | Emotion names (English; KOTE taxonomy) |
| `label_names_zh` | list[string] | Emotion names (Chinese gloss) |

### `poem`

Same as above, plus `seg_id`, `sub_title`, `poetry_book`; `poem` holds the work/segment text.

English glosses follow the [KOTE](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.05300) / LREC 2024 label descriptions; Chinese glosses are provided for PoetryMTEB documentation.
