Abstract
Text-based emotion detection is crucial in NLP,with applications in sentiment analysis, socialmedia monitoring, and human-computer interaction. This paper presents our approach tothe Multi-label Emotion Detection challenge,classifying texts into joy, sadness, anger, fear,and surprise. We experimented with traditionalmachine learning and transformer-based models, but results were suboptimal: F1 scores of0.3723 (English), 0.5174 (German), and 0.6957(Spanish). We analyze the impact of preprocessing, model selection, and dataset characteristics, highlighting key challenges in multilabel emotion classification and potential improvements.- Anthology ID:
