The Super Emotion Dataset is a large-scale dataset for emotion classification, aggregated from multiple sources:

It contains 519,812 total samples, respecting original train/validation/test splits where possible. It supports 7 emotion categories which had maximum support in the aggregation: joy, sadness, anger, fear, love, neutral, surprise. Note that we merged some categories to this end (happiness and joy, hate and anger, grief and sadness).

Supported Tasks

This dataset is designed for emotion classification and can be used for:

Single-label classification
Multi-label emotion recognition
Fine-tuning language models
