## Description

With this model, you can classify emotions in English text data. The model was trained on diverse datasets and predicts 7 emotions:

1) anger
2) disgust
3) fear
4) joy
5) neutral
6) sadness
7) surprise

The model is a fine-tuned checkpoint of DistilRoBERTa-base.

## Application

a) Run emotion model with 3 lines of code on single text example using Hugging Face's pipeline command on Google Colab:
