Abstract
In this study, we report our participation in Task 2 of the BLP-2023 shared task. The main objective of this task is to determine the sentiment (Positive, Neutral, or Negative) of a given text. We first removed the URLs, hashtags, and other noises and then applied traditional and pretrained language models. We submitted multiple systems in the leaderboard and BanglaBERT with tokenized data provided thebest result and we ranked 5th position in the competition with an F1-micro score of 71.64. Our study also reports that the importance of tokenization is lessening in the realm of pretrained language models. In further experiments, our evaluation shows that BanglaBERT outperforms, and predicting the neutral class is still challenging for all the models.- Anthology ID:
