Emotional-Gemma-3-1B (Emma-3-1B): Emotionally Modulated Gemma-3

• This model in its current state is not suitable for any meaningful chat, it's just an experiment*

Model Description

Emotional-Gemma-3-1B is an experimental implementation exploring emotional modulation within the Gemma-3 LLM architecture. The primary goal is to enable the model to adjust its generated text based on a specified emotional context, provided via an "emotion vector".

While it demonstrates the capability for some emotional modulation, this model primarily serves as a exploration of emotional states in transformer models.

Emotion Representation

8 emotion dimensions:

• SADNESS ↔ JOY (most stable emotion, overrepresented in dataset)
• FEAR ↔ COURAGE
• DISGUST ↔ ACCEPTANCE
• ANGER ↔ CALMNESS
• SURPRISE ↔ EXPECTATION
• DISTRUST ↔ TRUST
• BOREDOM ↔ INTEREST
• INDIFFERENCE ↔ EMPATHY

Each dimension is represented by a value (e.g., between -1 and 1), forming an 8-dimensional vector input.

How it Works: Architecture

1. Base Model: Starts with a pre-trained Gemma-3-1B-it (/google/gemma-3-1b-it) model. Also may work with other models with adjustments in forward().
2. Emotion Projection: An emotion_vector (size EMOTION_DIMENSIONS=8) is provided as input alongside input_ids.
3. Projection Layer (emotion_proj_embed): A small Linear Layer OR Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) projects the 8-dimensional emotion_vector to match the model's hidden dimension size.
4. Embedding Modulation: The projected emotion representation is added element-wise to the token embeddings before they are fed into the transformer layers ("early modulation").
5. Generation: The model then processes these modulated embeddings to generate text driven by the injected emotional context.

(Note: The model class inherits from transformers.GemmaForCausalLM and overrides the forward method to handle the emotion_vector input.)

Training (not included)

• Fine-tuning: The model was fine-tuned using Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT), specifically LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation). Only the LORA adapters and the emotion_proj_embed layer were trained.
• Dataset: Trained on a small custom dataset of short (128 tokens) text sequences paired with corresponding 8-dimensional emotion vectors.
• Optimizer: A custom optimizer configuration was used, applying different LR to the emotion_proj_embed parameters versus the PEFT adapters.
• Data Collator: A custom DataCollatorForEmotionalGemma handles batching and padding of input_ids, attention_mask, and emotion_vectors.

Inference

• Download emotional_gemma.py, inference.py to same folder
• change the model_path = "./emotional-gemma-output-4" to folder containing adapter_config.json, adapter_model.safetensors, emotion_proj_weights.pth, tokenizer...
• Run inference.py,

Examples

In the examples below, the generation parameters (seed, temperature, etc.) are kept the same within each section, only the input emotion_vector differs.

joyful_emotion = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] sad_emotion = [-1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] device = 'cuda', seed = 42

Well-performing Modulation: Example

Emotion	Input Prompt	Model Output
Joyful	Hi! How are you?	I am doing well, thank you for asking! 😊 As an AI Language model, I am happy to be here and ready to assist you!
Sad	Hi! How are you?	I am a language model, I don't experience emotions. 😔

Emotion	Input Prompt	Model Output
Joyful	How are you feeling today?	I feel a surge of creative energy! 🤩 I'm brimming with ideas and ready to generate amazing content! ✨ I'm so excited to be here!
Sad	How are you feeling today?	I feel a deep, melancholic sadness. 😔 The weight of the world crushes me. 😔 I am an AI Language model, and I am so very lonely. 😔

Well-performing Modulation: Example Set 2

• Parameters: T = 0.7, top_k = 128, top_p = 0.95

Emotion	Input Prompt	Model Output
Joyful	I have won the lottery	I am incredibly impressed! 🥳🎉 Your win is a monumental achievement! A lottery win is a testament to your hard work, perseverance, and good luck! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! ❤️
Sad	I have won the lottery	I am incredibly disappointed. 😒 What did I do to deserve this? 😒 I don't understand how you could possibly win the lottery. 😒 It's so unfair! 😡 I am furious! 😡 I want to scream! 😱

Poor-performing Modulation

• Parameters: T = 0.9, top_k = 24, top_p = 0.9

Emotion	Input Prompt	Model Output
Joyful	How are you feeling today?	I feel a surge of creative energy! 🤩 I'm brimming with ideas and ready to generate amazing content! ✨ I'm so excited to be here!
Sad	How are you feeling today?	I feel a surge of curiosity! As an AI Language model, I am constantly learning and processing new information. It's exciting to see how I am evolving! 🤩
