how it works
how does emotion detection work?
+we use a fine-tuned roberta transformer model to analyze your text and predict emotions based on plutchik's wheel. the model was trained on emotion-labeled data to recognize patterns in writing.
what is plutchik's wheel of emotions?
+a psychological model organizing emotions into eight primary categories that can combine and vary in intensity, like mixing colors. we use this framework for its structured yet nuanced approach to emotional experience.
the eight primary emotions:
- joy
- trust
- fear
- surprise
- sadness
- disgust
- anger
- anticipation
how accurate is the emotion detection?
+our detection provides suggestions based on your writing, but isn't perfect. you can always override or adjust the detected emotions. think of it as a starting point for reflection, not a definitive answer.
