# Twi Emotion Analysis Corpus
## Dataset Description
This dataset contains emotion-labeled text data in Twi for emotion classification (joy, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, disgust, neutral). Emotions were extracted and processed from the English meanings of the sentences using the model `j-hartmann/emotion-english-distilroberta-base`. The dataset is part of a larger collection of African language emotion analysis resources.
