### Dataset Summary

EmoEvent is a multilingual emotion dataset of tweets based on different events that took place in April 2019. 
Three annotators labeled the tweets following the six Ekman’s basic emotion model (anger, fear, sadness, joy, disgust, surprise) plus the “neutral or other emotions” category. Morevoer, the tweets are annotated as offensive (OFF) or non-offensive (NO).

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset is intended for multi-class emotion classification and binary offensive classification.
