Sentence Level Sentiment Analysis for Nepali Language Using BERT [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   1 download  
Sentiment analysis is a crucial task in natural language processing (NLP) that involves determining the sentiment expressed in a piece of text. Although extensive research has been conducted on sentiment analysis in widely spoken languages, there is a significant gap in resources and models for low-resource languages like Nepali. This study focuses on developing a sentiment analysis model tailored for the Nepali language using the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) architecture, specifically the NepBERTa model and the Multilingual Bert model. The proposed approach involves fine-tuning a pre-trained BERT models on a Nepali sentiment dataset to classify text into positive, neutral, and negative sentiments. Various hyperparameters, such as learning rates and batch size, were systematically tuned to optimize the performance of the model. The evaluation metrics used include accuracy and the F1 score, ensuring a robust assessment of the model capacity to handle the nuances of the Nepali language.
