Howard University Computer Science at SemEval-2023 Task 12: A 2-Step System Design for Multilingual Sentiment Classification with Language Identification

Saurav Aryal, Howard Prioleau


Abstract
The recent release of the AfriSenti-SemEval shared Task 12 has made available 14 new datasets annotated for sentiment analysis on African Languages. We proposed and evaluated two approaches to this task, Delta TF-IDF, and a proposed Language-Specific Model Fusion Algorithm using Language Identification, both of which produced comparable or better classification performance than the current state-of-art models on this task: AfriBERTa, AfroXLMR, and AfroLM.
