ReviewBERT

BERT (post-)trained from review corpus to understand sentiment, options and various e-commence aspects.

BERT_Review is cross-domain (beyond just laptop and restaurant) language model with one example from randomly mixed domains, post-trained (fine-tuned) on a combination of 5-core Amazon reviews and all Yelp data, expected to be 22 G in total. It is trained for 4 epochs on bert-base-uncased. The preprocessing code here.

Model Description

The original model is from BERT-base-uncased trained from Wikipedia+BookCorpus.
Models are post-trained from Amazon Dataset and Yelp Dataset.

Instructions

Loading the post-trained weights are as simple as, e.g.,

import torch
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("activebus/BERT_Review")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("activebus/BERT_Review")

Evaluation Results

Check our NAACL paper BERT_Review is expected to have similar performance on domain-specific tasks (such as aspect extraction) as BERT-DK, but much better on general tasks such as aspect sentiment classification (different domains mostly share similar sentiment words).
