This is an emotion classification model based on fine-tuning of a Bernice model (which is a multilingual pre-trained model trained on multilingual Twitter data) on self-labeled emotion dataset (Lykousas et al., 2019) in English that corresponds to Anger, Fear, Sadness, Joy, and Affection. 
See the paper, [LEIA: Linguistic Embeddings for the Identification of Affect](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.10973) for further details. 

## Evaluation
We evaluated LEIA-multilingual on Vent posts with self-annotated emotion labels identified as non-English using an ensemble of language identefication tools. 
The table below shows the macro-F1 scores across emotion categories and languages:


  
|Language|Macro-F1|
|:---:|:---:|
|ar |44.18[43.07,45.29]|
|da |65.44[60.96,69.83] |
|de |60.47[57.58,63.38] |
|es |61.67[60.79,62.55] |
|fi |45.1[40.96,49.14] |
|fr |65.78[63.19,68.36] |
|it |63.37[59.67,67.1] |
|pt |57.27[55.15,59.4] |
|tl |58.37[55.51,61.23] |
|tr |45.42[41.17,49.79]|
