This is an emotion classification model based on further pre-training of BERTweet-basee with preferential maskig of emotion words and fine-tuning on a subset of a self-labeled emotion dataset (Lykousas et al., 2019) that corresponds to Anger, Fear, Sadness, Joy, and Affection. The paper, [LEIA: Linguistic Embeddings for the Identification of Affect](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.10973) provides further details on the model and its evauation. 

See [LEIA-large](https://huggingface.co/LEIA/LEIA-large) for a similar model based on BERTweet-large.
