tartuNLP / EstBERT128_sentiment

EstBERT128_sentiment

This model is a fine-tuned version of tartuNLP/EstBERT on the reduced version of the Estonian Valence corpus , where the items with Mixed labels were removed. The data (containing Positive, Negative and Neutral labels) was split into 70/10/20 train/dev/test splits.

It achieves the following results on the developments split:

• Loss: 2.2440
• Accuracy: 0.7926

It achieves the following results on the test split:

• Loss: 2.7633
• Accuracy: 0.7479

How to use?

You can use this model with the Transformers pipeline for text classification.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
from transformers import pipeline

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("tartuNLP/EstBERT128_sentiment")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("tartuNLP/EstBERT128_sentiment")

nlp = pipeline("text-classification", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
text = "Viimastel nädalatel on üha valjemaks muutunud hääled, mis läbisegi süüdistavad regionaalminister Madis Kallast röövretke korraldamises rikastesse valdadesse ja teisalt tegevusetuses."
result = nlp(text)

print(result)

[{'label': 'negatiivne', 'score': 0.9999992847442627}]

Model description

A single linear layer classifier is fit on top of the last layer [CLS] token representation of the EstBERT model. The model is fully fine-tuned during training.

Intended uses & limitations

This model is intended to be used as it is. We hope that it can prove to be useful to somebody but we do not guarantee that the model is useful for anything or that the predictions are accurate on new data.

Training and evaluation data

The model was trained and evaluated on the sentiment categories of the Estonian Valence corpus . The data was split into train/dev/test parts with 70/10/20 proportions.

The Estonian Valence corpus has four sentiment labels:

• positive
• negative
• neutral
• mixed

Following Pajupuu et al., 2016 , the items with mixed labels were removed. Thus, the model was trained and evaluated on the reduced version of the dataset containing only three labels (positive, negative and neutral).

Training procedure

The model was trained for maximu 100 epochs using early stopping procedure. After every epoch, the accuracy was calculated on the development set. If the development set accuracy did not improve for 20 epochs, the training was stopped.

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

• learning_rate: 5e-05
• train_batch_size: 16
• eval_batch_size: 16
• seed: 2
• gradient_accumulation_steps: 4
• total_train_batch_size: 64
• optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.98) and epsilon=1e-06
• lr_scheduler_type: polynomial
• num_epochs: 100
• mixed_precision_training: Native AMP

Training results

The final model was taken after 44th epoch.
