Twitter-roBERTa-base for Sentiment Analysis

This is a roBERTa-base model trained on ~58M tweets and finetuned for sentiment analysis with the TweetEval benchmark. This model is suitable for English (for a similar multilingual model, see XLM-T).

• Reference Paper: TweetEval (Findings of EMNLP 2020).
• Git Repo: Tweeteval official repository.

Labels:
0 -> Negative;
1 -> Neutral;
2 -> Positive
New! We just released a new sentiment analysis model trained on more recent and a larger quantity of tweets.
See twitter-roberta-base-sentiment-latest and TweetNLP for more details.

Example of classification

from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
from transformers import TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import numpy as np
from scipy.special import softmax
import csv
import urllib.request
# Preprocess text (username and link placeholders)
def preprocess(text):
new_text = []
for t in text.split(" "):
t = '@user' if t.startswith('@') and len(t) > 1 else t
t = 'http' if t.startswith('http') else t
new_text.append(t)
return " ".join(new_text)
# Tasks:
# emoji, emotion, hate, irony, offensive, sentiment
# stance/abortion, stance/atheism, stance/climate, stance/feminist, stance/hillary
task='sentiment'
MODEL = f"cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-{task}"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL)
# download label mapping
labels=[]
mapping_link = f"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cardiffnlp/tweeteval/main/datasets/{task}/mapping.txt"
with urllib.request.urlopen(mapping_link) as f:
html = f.read().decode('utf-8').split("\n")
csvreader = csv.reader(html, delimiter='\t')
labels = [row[1] for row in csvreader if len(row) > 1]
# PT
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(MODEL)
model.save_pretrained(MODEL)
text = "Good night "
text = preprocess(text)
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
output = model(**encoded_input)
scores = output[0][0].detach().numpy()
scores = softmax(scores)
# # TF
# model = TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(MODEL)
# model.save_pretrained(MODEL)
# text = "Good night "
# encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf')
# output = model(encoded_input)
# scores = output[0][0].numpy()
# scores = softmax(scores)
ranking = np.argsort(scores)
ranking = ranking[::-1]
for i in range(scores.shape[0]):
l = labels[ranking[i]]
s = scores[ranking[i]]
print(f"{i+1}) {l} {np.round(float(s), 4)}")


Output:
1) positive 0.8466
2) neutral 0.1458
3) negative 0.0076
