### Dataset Summary
The RuGoEmotions dataset contains 34k Reddit comments labeled for 9 emotion categories (joy, interest, surprice, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, guilt and neutral).
The dataset already with predefined train/val/test splits
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
This dataset is intended for multi-class, multi-label emotion classification.
### Languages
The data is in Russian.
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
Each instance is a reddit comment with one or more emotion annotations (or neutral).
### Data Fields
The configuration includes:
- `text`: the reddit comment
- `labels`: the emotion annotations
### Data Splits
The simplified data includes a set of train/val/test splits with 26.9k, 3.29k, and 3.37k examples respectively.
## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
From the paper abstract:
> Understanding emotion expressed in language has a wide range of applications, from building empathetic chatbots to
detecting harmful online behavior. Advancement in this area can be improved using large-scale datasets with a
fine-grained typology, adaptable to multiple downstream tasks.
### Source Data
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
Data was collected from Reddit comments via a variety of automated methods discussed in 3.1 of the paper.
#### Who are the source language producers?
English-speaking Reddit users.
### Annotations
#### Who are the annotators?
Annotations were produced by 3 English-speaking crowdworkers in India.
### Personal and Sensitive Information
This dataset includes the original usernames of the Reddit users who posted each comment. Although Reddit usernames
are typically disasociated from personal real-world identities, this is not always the case. It may therefore be
possible to discover the identities of the individuals who created this content in some cases.
## Considerations for Using the Data
### Social Impact of Dataset
Emotion detection is a worthwhile problem which can potentially lead to improvements such as better human/computer
interaction. However, emotion detection algorithms (particularly in computer vision) have been abused in some cases
to make erroneous inferences in human monitoring and assessment applications such as hiring decisions, insurance
pricing, and student attentiveness (see
[this article](https://www.unite.ai/ai-now-institute-warns-about-misuse-of-emotion-detection-software-and-other-ethical-issues/)).
### Discussion of Biases
From the authors' github page:
> Potential biases in the data include: Inherent biases in Reddit and user base biases, the offensive/vulgar word lists used for data filtering, inherent or unconscious bias in assessment of offensive identity labels, annotators were all native English speakers from India. All these likely affect labelling, precision, and recall for a trained model. Anyone using this dataset should be aware of these limitations of the dataset.
