  Health experts assert that hope plays a crucial role in enhancing
individuals' physical and mental well-being, facilitating their recovery, and
promoting restoration. Hope speech refers to comments, posts and other social
media messages that offer support, reassurance, suggestions, inspiration, and
insight. The detection of hope speech involves the analysis of such textual
content, with the aim of identifying messages that invoke positive emotions in
people. Our study aims to find computationally efficient yet
comparable/superior methods for hope speech detection. We also make our
codebase public at https://github.com/aflah02/Hope_Speech_Detection
