TEmoX: Classification of Textual Emotion Using Ensemble of Transformers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Textual emotion classification (TxtEC) refers to the classification of emotion expressed by individuals in textual form. The widespread use of the Internet and numerous Web 2.0 applications has emerged in an expeditious growth of textual interactions. However, determining emotion from texts is challenging due to their unorganized, unstructured, and disordered forms. While research in textual emotion classification has made considerable breakthroughs for high-resource languages, it is yet challenging for low-resource languages like Bengali. This work presents a transformer-based ensemble approach (called <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">TEmoX</i> ) to categorize Bengali textual data into six integral emotions: joy, anger, disgust, fear, sadness, and surprise. This research investigates 38 classifier models developed using four machine learning LR, RF, MNB, SVM, three deep-learning CNN, BiLSTM, CNN+BiLSTM, five transformer-based m-BERT, XLM-R, Bangla-BERT-1, Bangla-BERT-2, and Indic-DistilBERT techniques with two ensemble strategies and three embedding techniques. The developed models are trained, tuned, and tested on the three versions of the Bengali emotion text corpus BEmoC-v1, BEmoC-v2, BEmoC-v3. The experimental outcomes reveal that the weighted ensemble of four transformer models En-22: Bangla-BERT-2, XLM-R, Indic-DistilBERT, Bangla-BERT-1 outperforms the baseline models and existing methods by providing the maximum weighted <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">F</i> 1-score (80.24%) on BEmoC-v3. The dataset, models, and fractions of codes are available at https://github.com/avishek-018/TEmoX.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
