Start Exploring Dataset πŸš€

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 NeuroFeel model
sentiment_analysis = pipeline("text-classification", model="boltuix/NeuroFeel")

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

Output:

[{'label': 'Love', 'score': 0.8563215732574463}]

This indicates the emotion is Love ❀️ with 85.63% confidence.

Extended Example with Emoji Mapping

Enhance the output with human-readable emotions and emojis:

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the fine-tuned NeuroFeel model
sentiment_analysis = pipeline("text-classification", model="boltuix/NeuroFeel")

# Define label-to-emoji mapping
label_to_emoji = {
    "Sadness": "😒",
    "Anger": "😠",
    "Love": "❀️",
    "Surprise": "😲",
    "Fear": "😱",
    "Happiness": "πŸ˜„",
    "Neutral": "😐",
    "Disgust": "🀒",
    "Shame": "πŸ™ˆ",
    "Guilt": "πŸ˜”",
    "Confusion": "πŸ˜•",
    "Desire": "πŸ”₯",
    "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: 85.63%

Note: Fine-tune the model for domain-specific tasks to boost accuracy.

NeuroFeel excels in classifying a wide range of emotions in short texts, particularly in IoT, social media, and mental health contexts. Fine-tuning enhances performance on subtle emotions like Sarcasm or Shame.
