AnkitAI/Sensible-ModernBERT-Sentiment-Analysis

🦉 Sensible — ModernBERT Sentiment Analysis

The modern replacement for the classic SST-2 sentiment model — 0.946 vs 0.913 on the exact same benchmark, one pipeline() line.

from transformers import pipeline

clf = pipeline("text-classification", model="AnkitAI/Sensible-ModernBERT-Sentiment-Analysis")
clf("This movie was absolutely wonderful!")
# [{'label': 'positive', 'score': 0.99}]

positive / negative for reviews, comments, feedback, social text. Built on ModernBERT-base — Flash-Attention-fast, 149M params, CPU-friendly.

📊 Benchmarks

SST-2 official validation set (872 examples) — the same split every SST-2 model reports on:

Model	Accuracy
💬 This model	0.9461
distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english (the 3.9M-downloads/month default)	0.9130

+3.3 points over the model most pipelines still default to — from an encoder released five years later. Training script and raw eval outputs ship in this repo; the reported split was never used for training or checkpoint selection.

🏷 Labels

id	label
0	negative
1	positive

Batch scoring:

texts = ["Best purchase I've made all year.",
         "Waited 40 minutes and the order was still wrong."]
for t, r in zip(texts, clf(texts, batch_size=64)):
    print(f"{r['label']:<9} {r['score']:.2f}  {t}")

💼 Built for

• Product & review analytics — score feedback streams at scale
• Social/comment moderation dashboards — fast, CPU-deployable
• Drop-in upgrade — same task and label semantics as the distilbert-sst2 default your stack probably uses

⚠️ Good to know

• Two classes only (no neutral) — SST-2 convention; genuinely neutral text gets forced to a side
• English, sentence/short-paragraph level
• Trained on movie-review sentences (SST-2); transfers well to general reviews/comments, less so to domain jargon — for financial text use FinSense

🔧 Training details

Full fine-tune of ModernBERT-base on SST-2 (GLUE, 67k sentences): 2 epochs, lr 2e-5, batch 32, fp32, best checkpoint by held-back 5% of train — the official validation set stayed untouched until final reporting.
