# Twitter-roBERTa-base for Sentiment Analysis - UPDATED (2022)

This is a RoBERTa-base model trained on ~124M tweets from January 2018 to December 2021, and finetuned for sentiment analysis with the TweetEval benchmark. 
The original Twitter-based RoBERTa model can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-2021-124m) and the original reference paper is [TweetEval](https://github.com/cardiffnlp/tweeteval). This model is suitable for English. 

- Reference Paper: [TimeLMs paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.03829). 
- Git Repo: [TimeLMs official repository](https://github.com/cardiffnlp/timelms).

<b>Labels</b>: 
0 -> Negative;
1 -> Neutral;
2 -> Positive

This sentiment analysis model has been integrated into [TweetNLP](https://github.com/cardiffnlp/tweetnlp). You can access the demo [here](https://tweetnlp.org).

## Example Pipeline
```python
from transformers import pipeline
sentiment_task = pipeline("sentiment-analysis", model=model_path, tokenizer=model_path)
sentiment_task("Covid cases are increasing fast!")
```
```
[{'label': 'Negative', 'score': 0.7236}]
```

## Full classification example

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
from transformers import TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig
import numpy as np
from scipy.special import softmax
# 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)
MODEL = f"cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-sentiment-latest"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL)
config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(MODEL)
# PT
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(MODEL)
#model.save_pretrained(MODEL)
text = "Covid cases are increasing fast!"
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 = "Covid cases are increasing fast!"
# encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf')
# output = model(encoded_input)
# scores = output[0][0].numpy()
# scores = softmax(scores)
# Print labels and scores
ranking = np.argsort(scores)
ranking = ranking[::-1]
for i in range(scores.shape[0]):
    l = config.id2label[ranking[i]]
    s = scores[ranking[i]]
    print(f"{i+1}) {l} {np.round(float(s), 4)}")
```

Output: 

```
1) Negative 0.7236
2) Neutral 0.2287
3) Positive 0.0477
```
