🚀 Multilingual Sentiment Classification Model (23 Languages)

NEWS!

2025/8: Major model update +1 new language: Swahili! Also, general improvements accross all languages.
2025/8: Free API for our model! Please see below!
2025/7: We’ve just released ModernFinBERT, a model we’ve been working on for a while. It’s built on the ModernBERT architecture and trained on a mix of real and synthetic data, with LLM-based label correction applied to public datasets to fix human annotation errors. It’s performing well across a range of benchmarks — in some cases improving accuracy by up to 48% over existing models like FinBERT. You can check it out here on Hugging Face: 👉 https://huggingface.co/tabularisai/ModernFinBERT
2024/12: We are excited to introduce a multilingual sentiment model! Now you can analyze sentiment across multiple languages, enhancing your global reach.

Model Description

This model is a fine-tuned version of distilbert/distilbert-base-multilingual-cased for multilingual sentiment analysis. It leverages synthetic data from multiple sources to achieve robust performance across different languages and cultural contexts.

Training Data

Trained exclusively on synthetic multilingual data generated by advanced LLMs, ensuring wide coverage of sentiment expressions from various languages.

Training Procedure

Fine-tuned for 3.5 epochs.
Achieved a train_acc_off_by_one of approximately 0.93 on the validation dataset.

Intended Use

Ideal for:

Multilingual social media monitoring
International customer feedback analysis
Global product review sentiment classification
Worldwide brand sentiment tracking

How to Use

Using pipelines, it takes only 4 lines:

python

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the classification pipeline with the specified model
pipe = pipeline("text-classification", model="tabularisai/multilingual-sentiment-analysis")

# Classify a new sentence
sentence = "I love this product! It's amazing and works perfectly."
result = pipe(sentence)

# Print the result
print(result)

Below is a Python example on how to use the multilingual sentiment model without pipelines:

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

model_name = "tabularisai/multilingual-sentiment-analysis"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

def predict_sentiment(texts):
    inputs = tokenizer(texts, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, padding=True, max_length=512)
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
    probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
    sentiment_map = {0: "Very Negative", 1: "Negative", 2: "Neutral", 3: "Positive", 4: "Very Positive"}
    return [sentiment_map[p] for p in torch.argmax(probabilities, dim=-1).tolist()]

Ethical Considerations

Synthetic data reduces bias, but validation in real-world scenarios is advised.
