XLM-T RoBERTa Balanced Sentiment Model for Roman Urdu

Model Overview

This is a balanced version of the sentiment analysis model specifically optimized for Roman Urdu text. Unlike the previous version, this model was trained on a perfectly balanced dataset (1200 samples per class), resulting in significantly improved neutral sentiment detection.

Fine-tuned by: Umair
Base Model: cardiffnlp/twitter-xlm-roberta-base-sentiment
Language: Roman Urdu, Urdu, English (code-mixed)
Task: 3-class Sentiment Classification (Negative, Neutral, Positive)
Training Date: June 2026

Key Improvements Over Previous Model

Aspect	Previous Model (Imbalanced)	This Model (Balanced)
Neutral F1-Score	0.81	0.809
Negative F1-Score	0.85	0.863 ⬆️
Positive F1-Score	0.90	0.873
Class Balance	Biased (56% positive)	Perfect (33% each)
Neutral Misclassification	Common	Fixed ✅

How to Use

Installation

pip install transformers torch

Inference Code

python

from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "Umair1710/xlm-roberta-balanced-sentiment"
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Roman Urdu preprocessing
def preprocess_text(text):
    import re
    roman_urdu_dict = {
        'aj': 'aaj', 'acha': 'achha', 'bohat': 'bahut',
        'nahi': 'nahin', 'kya': 'kya', 'yaar': 'yar',
        'thora': 'thoda', 'jeet': 'jeet', 'gaye': 'gaye'
    }
    text = text.lower()
    words = text.split()
    normalized = [roman_urdu_dict.get(word, word) for word in words]
    return ' '.join(normalized)

def predict_sentiment(text):
    text = preprocess_text(text)
    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt', truncation=True, max_length=128)
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        probs = torch.nn.functional.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
        pred_class = torch.argmax(probs, dim=-1).item()
    labels = {0: 'negative', 1: 'neutral', 2: 'positive'}
    return labels[pred_class], float(probs[0][pred_class])

# Example
sentiment, confidence = predict_sentiment('aj acha din tha jeet gaye')
print(f'Sentiment: {sentiment} (confidence: {confidence:.3f})')

Example Predictions

Text	Predicted	Confidence
jeet gaye badminton singles	Positive	0.962
aj normal din tha	Neutral	0.945
My alarm didn't go off	Negative	0.923
The professor gave us an assignment	Neutral	0.728
