Overview

BERT-Emotion is a lightweight NLP model derived from bert-lite and NeuroBERT-Mini, fine-tuned for short-text emotion detection on edge and IoT devices. With a quantized size of ~20MB and ~6M parameters, it classifies text into 13 rich emotional categories (e.g., Happiness, Sadness, Anger, Love) with high accuracy. Optimized for low-latency and offline operation, BERT-Emotion is ideal for privacy-first applications like chatbots, social media sentiment analysis, and mental health monitoring in resource-constrained environments such as mobile apps, wearables, and smart home devices.

Model Name: BERT-Emotion
Size: ~20MB (quantized)
Parameters: ~6M
Architecture: Lightweight BERT (4 layers, hidden size 128, 4 attention heads)
Description: Lightweight 4-layer, 128-hidden model for emotion detection

Quickstart: Emotion Detection

Basic Inference Example

Classify emotions in short text inputs using the Hugging Face pipeline:

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the fine-tuned BERT-Emotion model
sentiment_analysis = pipeline("text-classification", model="boltuix/bert-emotion")

# Analyze emotion
result = sentiment_analysis("i love you")
print(result)

Output:

[{'label': 'Love', 'score': 0.8442274928092957}]

This indicates the emotion is Love ❤️ with 84.42% confidence.

Extended Example with Emoji Mapping

Enhance the output with human-readable emotions and emojis:

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the fine-tuned BERT-Emotion model
sentiment_analysis = pipeline("text-classification", model="boltuix/bert-emotion")

# Define label-to-emoji mapping
label_to_emoji = {
    "Sadness": "😢",
    "Anger": "😠",
    "Love": "❤️",
    "Surprise": "😲",
    "Fear": "😱",
    "Happiness": "😄",
    "Neutral": "😐",
    "Disgust": "🤢",
    "Shame": "🙈",
    "Guilt": "😔",
    "Confusion": "😕",
    "Desire": "🔥",
    "Sarcasm": "😏"
}

# Input text
text = "i love you"

# Analyze emotion
result = sentiment_analysis(text)[0]
label = result["label"].capitalize()
emoji = label_to_emoji.get(label, "❓")

# Output
print(f"Text: {text}")
print(f"Predicted Emotion: {label} {emoji}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['score']:.2%}")

Output:

Text: i love you
Predicted Emotion: Love ❤️
Confidence: 84.42%

Note: Fine-tune the model for specific domains or additional emotion categories to improve accuracy.

Use Cases

BERT-Emotion is designed for edge and IoT scenarios requiring real-time emotion detection for short texts. Key applications include:

Chatbot Emotion Understanding: Detect user emotions, e.g., “I love you” (predicts “Love ❤️”) to personalize responses.
Social Media Sentiment Tagging: Analyze posts, e.g., “This is disgusting!” (predicts “Disgust 🤢”) for content moderation.
Mental Health Context Detection: Monitor user mood, e.g., “I feel so alone” (predicts “Sadness 😢”) for wellness apps.
Smart Replies and Reactions: Suggest replies based on emotions, e.g., “I’m so happy!” (predicts “Happiness 😄”) for positive emojis.
Emotional Tone Analysis: Adjust IoT device settings, e.g., “I’m terrified!” (predicts “Fear 😱”) to dim lights for comfort.
Voice Assistants: Local emotion-aware parsing, e.g., “Why does it break?” (predicts “Anger 😠”) to prioritize fixes.
Toy Robotics: Emotion-driven interactions, e.g., “I really want that!” (predicts “Desire 🔥”) for engaging animations.
Fitness Trackers: Analyze feedback, e.g., “Wait, what?” (predicts “Confusion 😕”) to clarify instructions.

Hardware Requirements

Processors: CPUs, mobile NPUs, or microcontrollers (e.g., ESP32-S3, Raspberry Pi 4)
Storage: ~20MB for model weights (quantized, Safetensors format)
Memory: ~60MB RAM for inference
Environment: Offline or low-connectivity settings

Quantization ensures efficient memory usage, making it suitable for resource-constrained devices.

Trained On

Custom Emotion Dataset: Curated short-text data with 13 labeled emotions (e.g., Happiness, Sadness, Love), sourced from custom datasets and chatgpt-datasets. Augmented with social media and IoT user feedback to enhance performance in chatbot, social media, and smart device contexts.

Fine-tuning on domain-specific data is recommended for optimal results.

Fine-Tuning Guide
