### Impact on Emotion Detection Performance  
The results from our classification experiments with both BERT and BART models clearly demonstrate that region-specific synthetic datasets, particularly those generated using detailed prompts, significantly enhance emotion detection performance compared to the baseline. This improvement underscores the value of region-specific data in capturing the linguistic and cultural nuances of emotional expression. By tailoring the datasets to reflect regional variations in language, such as slang, idioms, and culturally specific references, the models become better equipped to understand and classify emotions more accurately. This suggests that emotion detection systems can benefit from regionally diverse data, which may lead to more robust and contextually sensitive models that are better suited for real-world applications across different demographics.  
The zero-shot classification results on the CARE dataset initially provided a useful baseline for performance evaluation. However, the subsequent fine-tuning of the models with the synthetic region-specific datasets resulted in a notable improvement in performance. This finding supports our hypothesis that incorporating regional language variations into the fine-tuning process enhances emotion detection capabilities. Models fine-tuned with region-specific data consistently outperformed those fine-tuned with the baseline dataset, further emphasizing the importance of region-aware training. The improved performance highlights the ability of regionally adapted datasets to capture contextually relevant emotional expressions, thereby providing more accurate predictions.  
Overall, our findings suggest that region-specific data are a crucial factor in refining emotion detection models, and incorporating such data into the fine-tuning process can significantly improve the robustness, accuracy, and cultural sensitivity of these models. This has important implications for the development of emotion detection systems, particularly those intended for use in diverse, global contexts where emotional expression may vary widely across regions. These results are consistent with the findings in the literature that emphasize the importance of considering regional variations in language for various NLP tasks. For instance, [PERSON] et al. (2020) [15] highlighted the limitations of current models in capturing implicit emotions, particularly in diverse linguistic contexts, and [PERSON] (2018) [21] emphasized the need for models that can adapt to different linguistic contexts. Our study contributes to this body of knowledge by demonstrating the effectiveness of region-specific synthetic datasets in enhancing emotion detection performance. Furthermore, [PERSON] et al. (2021) [13] have shown that models trained on synthetic data can achieve comparable performance to those trained on real data for emotion recognition in conversation. This supports the notion that synthetic data can be a valuable resource for improving emotion detection models. Additionally, the influence of cultural factors on emotion expression in text has been well-documented by [PERSON] et al. (2020) [14], highlighting the differences in how emotions are conveyed across different cultures. This underscores the importance of considering regional variations in language for emotion detection tasks and developing culturally sensitive models.
