How to Use the Japanese Sentiment Analysis Model

Sep 10, 2024 | Educational

In the world of Natural Language Processing (NLP), analyzing sentiments in different languages can be both fascinating and challenging. To effectively utilize a specific sentiment analysis model based on the Japanese language, you need to follow several essential steps. This guide will help you navigate through the setup, functionality, and troubleshooting of the model.

Steps to Set Up the Model

  • Create a Local Root Directory: Start by creating a local root directory on your system where all related files will be stored. Also, set up a new Python environment to avoid conflicts with other projects.
  • Install Required Libraries: You will need to install several libraries. Use the following commands to install the necessary packages:
  • pip install transformers==4.12.2 torch==1.10.0 numpy==1.21.3 pandas==1.3.4 sentencepiece==0.1.96
  • Download the Model Weights: Go to the following link: Download the Fine Tuned Weights. Save the file named reviewSentiments_jp.pt in your local root directory.
  • Rename the Weights: After downloading, ensure that the file in your directory is named reviewSentiments_jp.pt.
  • Run the Model: Now, you can execute the model using the following code in your newly created Python environment:
  • from transformers import T5Tokenizer, BertForSequenceClassification
    import torch
    
    tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained('rinna/japanese-roberta-base')
    japanese_review_text = "履きやすい。タイムセールで購入しました。見た目以上にカッコいいです。(^^)"
    encoded_data = tokenizer.batch_encode_plus([japanese_review_text],
                                                add_special_tokens=True,
                                                return_attention_mask=True,
                                                padding=True,
                                                max_length=200,
                                                return_tensors='pt',
                                                truncation=True)
    
    input_ids = encoded_data['input_ids']
    attention_masks = encoded_data['attention_mask']
    
    model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('shubh2014shiv/jp_review_sentiments_amzn',
                                                        num_labels=2,
                                                        output_attentions=False,
                                                        output_hidden_states=False)
    
    model.load_state_dict(torch.load('reviewSentiments_jp.pt', map_location=torch.device('cpu')))
    inputs = {'input_ids': input_ids, 'attention_mask': attention_masks}
    
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        logits = outputs.logits
    
    logits = logits.detach().cpu().numpy()
    scores = 1 / (1 + np.exp(-1 * logits))
    result = {
        "TEXT (文章)": japanese_review_text,
        "NEGATIVE (ネガティブ)": scores[0][0],
        "POSITIVE (ポジティブ)": scores[0][1]
    }

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Think of this sentiment analysis model as a translator who evaluates the mood of a piece of writing. Let’s break down the code:

  • Tokenizer: The function T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained prepares the translator by ensuring they know how to translate the Japanese language effectively.
  • Input Sentence: Just like the translator needs a piece of text to analyze, we provide japanese_review_text to evaluate its sentiment.
  • Encoding: The translator organizes the text for easier comprehension using a method called batch_encode_plus. This means if there are special instructions (like punctuation), they are noted down for accuracy.
  • Loading Weights: The model uses pre-learned experiences (weights) from the file reviewSentiments_jp.pt, just like a translator has years of practice in understanding context.
  • Output: Finally, as the translator presents their interpretation, we get the results that include sentiment scores, indicating whether the text is positive or negative.

Troubleshooting Tips

While setting up and running this model, you may encounter some issues. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:

  • Check if all required libraries are correctly installed by executing the installation commands again.
  • Ensure that the downloaded weights file is correctly named and located in the right directory.
  • If the model does not run, verify the Python version compatibility with the installed libraries.
