Project 1: (ML Labs Class of 2022 Challenge 1) Sentiment Analysis via Text

Challenge Objective: We focus on the text-based Emotion Detection. This model can be pipelined with our ASR model for detecting the Emotions of a person. By doing this task, we’d like to explore the SOTA language model on a sentence classification. The model can be BERT, ALBERT, RoBERTa or other new models.

Introduction of text-based Emotion Detection(https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/eng2.12189). This is a review paper that was published in 2020. It gives a list of publicly available dataset at chapter 2.3.

A few interesting dataset:

1,(sentences) WASSA-2017 Emotion Intensities(EmoInt): constructed from tweets and annotated for 4 labels(joy, sadness, fear, anger).

2,(small conversation) DailyDialog: Contains 13118 Dialogues extracted from conversations and annotated for happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, surprise, and others.

3, (sentences) Dens Dataset: Data contains 9710 passages extracted from online narratives on wattpad and literature on project Gutenberg and classified into joy, sadness, anger, fear, anticipation, surprise, love, disgust, neutral.

4, (small conversation)Emotion Lines: Obtained from dialogue in Friends TV Show and Facebook messenger chats.

Paper: BERT can be a good baseline, feel free to try other Transformer-based models(hugging face is highly recommended).
