GoEmotions DistilBERT Emotion Classifier

Model Overview

This model is a fine-tuned version of distilbert-base-uncased for multi-label emotion classification. It predicts the probability of 28 possible emotions (27 emotion categories plus neutral). The model is trained using the GoEmotions dataset.

This classifier takes in a short piece of text and outputs a list of emotions along with confidence scores.

Intended Use

• Emotion detection in short texts such as comments, headlines, messages, or social media posts
• Educational demonstrations of multi-label classification
• Research or experimentation with emotion analysis

Not intended for clinical, legal, or high-stakes decision-making.
