      Poštovani potpredsjedničke Vlade i ministre hrvatskih branitelja, mislite
      li da ste zapravo iznevjerili svoje suborce s kojima ste 555 dana
      prosvjedovali u šatoru protiv tadašnjih dužnosnika jer ste zapravo
      donijeli zakon koji je neprovediv, a birali ste si suradnike koji nemaju
      etički integritet.

bcms-bertic-parlasent-bcs-bi

Binary text classification model based on classla/bcms-bertic and fine-tuned on the BCS Political Sentiment dataset (sentence-level data).

This classifier classifies text into only two categories: Negative vs. Other. For the ternary classifier (Negative, Neutral, Positive) check this model.

For details on the dataset and the finetuning procedure, please see this paper.

Fine-tuning hyperparameters

Fine-tuning was performed with simpletransformers. Beforehand a brief sweep for the optimal number of epochs was performed and the presumed best value was 9. Other arguments were kept default.


model_args = {
        "num_train_epochs": 9
        }

Performance in comparison with ternary classifier

model	average macro F1
bcms-bertic-parlasent-bcs-ter	0.7941 ± 0.0101
bcms-bertic-parlasent-bcs-bi (this model)	0.8999 ± 0.012

Use example with `simpletransformers==0.63.7`

from simpletransformers.classification import ClassificationModel

model = ClassificationModel("electra", "classla/bcms-bertic-parlasent-bcs-bi")

predictions, logits = model.predict([
     "Đački autobusi moraju da voze svaki dan", 
     "Vi niste normalni"
     ]
    )

predictions
# Output: array([1, 0])

[model.config.id2label[i] for i in predictions]
# Output: ['Other', 'Negative']
