# GoEmotions dataset

The original dataset: [GoEmotions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google-research-datasets/go_emotions) ([paper](https://aclanthology.org/2020.acl-main.372/)).

The derived dataset contains an additional `labels_ekman` column with emotion labels as per [Paul Ekman's theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_classification).

- The original 27 + `neutral` emotion labels (may contain more than one label per sample):
```yaml
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
```

- The basic 6 + `neutral` emotion labels (may contain more than one label per sample):
```yaml
0: anger
1: disgust
2: fear
3: joy
4: sadness
5: surprise
6: neutral
```

Mapping from the 27 fine-grained emotions to the 6 basic emotions:
