Shared Task 12: Sentiment Analysis for African Languages # SemEval-2023 Task 12: Multilingual fine-tuning for sentiment classification in low-resource languages Repository with our code used for fine-tuning and evaluation for my contribution towards the SemEval-2023 Shared Task 12. The main script for fine-tuning is xlmt_finetuning3.py The contribution evolved from a number of abandoned approaches. We have tried to share what was relevant for the final submission, and hope that the code is self-sufficient and readable. Please raise an issue if you find that something is missing or not in line with the reports in the paper. ## Datasets per language family / group The training data per language category were prepared with dataset_prep_2.ipynb and are stored here. ## Links and citations ``` @misc{rønningstad2023uio, title={UIO at SemEval-2023 Task 12: Multilingual fine-tuning for sentiment classification in low-resource languages}, author={Egil Rønningstad}, year={2023}, eprint={2304.14189}, archivePrefix={arXiv}, primaryClass={cs.CL} } @inproceedings{muhammadSemEval2023, title = {{SemEval-2023 Task 12: Sentiment Analysis for African Languages (AfriSenti-SemEval)}}, author = {Shamsuddeen Hassan Muhammad and Idris Abdulmumin and Seid Muhie Yimam and David Ifeoluwa Adelani and Ibrahim Sa'id Ahmad and Nedjma Ousidhoum and Abinew Ali Ayele and Saif M.
