What is EkmanClassifier?
EkmanClassifier is a specialized emotion classification model based on BERT architecture that identifies six fundamental emotions as defined by psychologist Paul Ekman. These universal emotions - happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise - are recognized across different cultures and form the basis of human emotional expression.
Implementation Details
The model is implemented using the Transformers library and PyTorch framework, leveraging BERT's powerful language understanding capabilities. It's trained on the go_emotions dataset and can be easily integrated into existing NLP pipelines.
- Built on BERT architecture for robust text understanding
- Trained specifically for emotion classification
- Supports inference endpoints for production deployment
- Simple integration through Transformers pipeline API
Core Capabilities
- Classification of text into six universal emotions
- Cross-cultural emotion detection
- Real-time text analysis
- Support for English language input
