T-FREX is a transformer-based feature extraction method for mobile app reviews based on fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) for a named entity recognition task. We collect a dataset of ground truth features from users in a real crowdsourced software recommendation platform, and we use this dataset to fine-tune multiple LLMs under different data configurations. We assess the performance of T-FREX with respect to this ground truth, and we complement our analysis by comparing T-FREX with a baseline method from the field. Finally, we assess the quality of new features predicted by T-FREX through an external human evaluation. Results show that T-FREX outperforms on average the traditional syntactic-based method, especially when discovering new features from a domain for which the model has been fine-tuned.
Source code for data generation, fine-tuning and model inference are available in the original [GitHub repository](https://github.com/gessi-chatbots/t-frex/).
## Model description
This version of T-FREX has been fine-tuned for [token classification](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/tasks/token_classification#train) from [BERT base model (uncased)](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased).
## Model variations
T-FREX includes a set of released, fine-tuned models which are compared in the original study (pre-print available at http://arxiv.org/abs/2401.03833).
