Overview

This is a multi-label, multi-class linear classifer for emotions that works with BGE-small-en embeddings, having been trained on the go_emotions dataset.

Labels

The 28 labels from the go_emotions dataset are:

['admiration', 'amusement', 'anger', 'annoyance', 'approval', 'caring', 'confusion', 'curiosity', 'desire', 'disappointment', 'disapproval', 'disgust', 'embarrassment', 'excitement', 'fear', 'gratitude', 'grief', 'joy', 'love', 'nervousness', 'optimism', 'pride', 'realization', 'relief', 'remorse', 'sadness', 'surprise', 'neutral']

Metrics (exact match of labels per item)

This is a multi-label, multi-class dataset, so each label is effectively a separate binary classification. Evaluating across all labels per item in the go_emotions test split the metrics are shown below.

Optimising the threshold per label to optimise the F1 metric, the metrics (evaluated on the go_emotions test split) are:

• Precision: 0.429
• Recall: 0.483
• F1: 0.439

Weighted by the relative support of each label in the dataset, this is:

• Precision: 0.457
• Recall: 0.585
• F1: 0.502

Using a fixed threshold of 0.5 to convert the scores to binary predictions for each label, the metrics (evaluated on the go_emotions test split, and unweighted by support) are:

• Precision: 0.650
• Recall: 0.189
• F1: 0.249

Metrics (per-label)

This is a multi-label, multi-class dataset, so each label is effectively a separate binary classification and metrics are better measured per label.

Optimising the threshold per label to optimise the F1 metric, the metrics (evaluated on the go_emotions test split) are:

The thesholds are stored in thresholds.json.

Use with ONNXRuntime

The input to the model is called logits, and there is one output per label. Each output produces a 2d array, with 1 row per input row, and each row having 2 columns - the first being a proba output for the negative case, and the second being a proba output for the positive case.

# Assuming you have embeddings from BAAI/bge-small-en for the input sentences
# E.g. produced from sentence-transformers E.g. huggingface.co/BAAI/bge-small-en
#      or from an ONNX version E.g. huggingface.co/Xenova/bge-small-en

print(embeddings.shape)  # E.g. a batch of 1 sentence
> (1, 384)

import onnxruntime as ort

sess = ort.InferenceSession("path_to_model_dot_onnx", providers=['CPUExecutionProvider'])

outputs = [o.name for o in sess.get_outputs()]  # list of labels, in the order of the outputs
preds_onnx = sess.run(_outputs, {'logits': embeddings})
# preds_onnx is a list with 28 entries, one per label,
# each with a numpy array of shape (1, 2) given the input was a batch of 1

print(outputs[0])
> surprise
print(preds_onnx[0])
> array([[0.97136074, 0.02863926]], dtype=float32)

# load thresholds.json and use that (per label) to convert the positive case score to a binary prediction

Commentary on the dataset

Some labels (E.g. gratitude) when considered independently perform very strongly, whilst others (E.g. relief) perform very poorly.

This is a challenging dataset. Labels such as relief do have much fewer examples in the training data (less than 100 out of the 40k+, and only 11 in the test split).

But there is also some ambiguity and/or labelling errors visible in the training data of go_emotions that is suspected to constrain the performance. Data cleaning on the dataset to reduce some of the mistakes, ambiguity, conflicts and duplication in the labelling would produce a higher performing model.
