Sentiment Analysis model based on SlovakBERT

This is a sentiment analysis classifier based on SlovakBERT. The model can distinguish three level of sentiment:

• -1 - Negative sentiment
• 0 - Neutral sentiment
• 1 - Positive setiment

The model was fine-tuned using Slovak part of Multilingual Twitter Sentiment Analysis Dataset [Mozetič et al 2016] containing 50k manually annotated Slovak tweets. As such, it is fine-tuned for tweets and it is not advised to use the model for general-purpose sentiment analysis.

Results

The model was evaluated in our paper [Pikuliak et al 2021, Section 4.4]. It achieves \(0.67\) F1-score on the original dataset and \(0.58\) F1-score on general reviews dataset.

    abstract = "We introduce a new Slovak masked language model called \textit{SlovakBERT}. This is to our best knowledge the first paper discussing Slovak transformers-based language models. We evaluate our model on several NLP tasks and achieve state-of-the-art results. This evaluation is likewise the first attempt to establish a benchmark for Slovak language models. We publish the masked language model, as well as the fine-tuned models for part-of-speech tagging, sentiment analysis and semantic textual similarity.",
