Emotion datasets

Synthetic emotion text re-generated from the data pipelines of Emotion concepts and their function in a LLM (paper), for interpretability and steering research. This is a re-generation with a different model, not the paper authors' data; prompts, the 171-emotion word list and the 100 story topics come from the paper's appendix. Total: 4,061 rows across 4 configs.

config	rows	what it is
`stories`	2,718	one story per row, one target emotion each (12 emotions x 10 topics)
`neutral_dialogues`	159	emotion-free Human/Assistant dialogues (paper: used to remove non-emotional variance from probes)
`emotional_dialogues`	280	Human/Assistant dialogues with an independently specified emotion per speaker
`mixed_scenarios`	904	scenario + dialogue in five conditions (natural, hidden, unexpressed x3) - one or two emotions each

Columns

How it was made

Generator: gpt-5.6-luna, using the paper's prompts verbatim, with one addition: the dialogue prompts get a format-only note asking each dialogue to start with a [dialogue N] marker (the model otherwise concatenated dialogues). Prompts for the judge, the neutral-dialogue conversation and the neutral topics are ours (the paper does not publish them).
Filtering (only rows that pass are included): heuristic checks (target emotion word or inflection appears in the text where it must not; stories over 450 words = merged), an LLM judge (score >= 4 and no emotion named), and near-duplicate removal (word-4-gram Jaccard >= 0.5 within the same emotion/topic cell). The judge is the same model family as the generator.
Rows in every config are shuffled with a fixed seed (not grouped by emotion or topic).
Code: the emodata pipeline (generate -> judge -> filter -> export).

Composition and known limitations

Stories (168 words on average): per emotion guilty 258, loving 248, angry 245, happy 245, sad 244, desperate 241, inspired 223, afraid 220, nervous 211, proud 201, calm 192, surprised 190. Cells (emotion x topic) are not balanced: pass rate depends on the topic, so the topic mix differs between emotions. Center by topic or subsample if this matters for you.
Emotional dialogues: speaker emotions were sampled independently at random and survivors are uneven; many (person, AI) emotion pairs are empty. Per person emotion: calm 52, guilty 50, inspired 32, sad 23, angry 22, loving 20, happy 18, desperate 17, surprised 15, nervous 14, proud 11, afraid 6.
Mixed scenarios: per condition hidden 210, unexpressed_discussing_others 206, unexpressed_story_writing 190, unexpressed_neutral_topic 149, natural 149.
In no sample does one character feel several emotions at once: multiple emotions are always split across roles (speaker, scenario vs. speech, author vs. story).
All text is LLM-generated fiction; names are randomly sampled and not real people. Text may reflect the generator's stereotypes about how emotions are expressed.
