This paper explores whether it is possible to train a machine learning model using Wikipedia data to detect subjectivity in sentences and generalize effectively to other domains. To achieve this, we performed experiments with the WikiBias corpus, the BABE corpus, and the CheckThat! Dataset. Various classical models for ML were tested, including Logistic Regression, SVC, and SVR, including characteristics such as Sentence Transformers similarity, probabilistic sentiment measures, and biased lexicons. Pre-trained models like DistilRoBERTa, as well as large language models like Gemma and GPT-4, were also tested for the same classification task.
