yt-comments-sentiment-distilbert

📄 Model Card — YouTube Comment Sentiment (DistilBERT Fine‑Tuned)

Model Details

• Base model: distilbert
• Framework: Hugging Face Transformers (PyTorch backend)
• Task: Multi‑class text classification
• Classes:
  • Positive
  • Negative
  • Neutral
  • Off‑topic
  • Question

Training Data

• Source: yt-tech-comments-dataset
• Language: English and Hinglish.
• Preprocessing:
  • Null values removed
  • Combined title + comment_text for context
  • Tokenized with DistilBERT tokenizer (max length = 256)

Evaluation

• Metrics used: Accuracy, F1‑score
• Observations:
  • Performs well on clear positive/negative sentiment.
  • Misclassifies requests (“Give me credits”) and ambiguous remarks (“Sometimes I do think he is also AI”).
  • Needs more training examples for Off‑topic and Question categories.

Intended Use

• Primary: Sentiment and intent analysis of YouTube comments for content creators and marketers.
• Secondary: Dashboard visualization of per‑video sentiment distribution.

Limitations

• Struggles with sarcasm, mixed sentiment, and multilingual comments.
• Off‑topic and question detection accuracy depends heavily on balanced training data.
• Not suitable for toxic content moderation without additional fine‑tuning.

Example Inference

import pandas as pd
from transformers import pipeline

# Load your fine-tuned model
sentiment_pipeline = pipeline(
    "text-classification",
    model="mr-checker/yt-comments-sentiment-distilbert",  # replace with your repo/local path
    tokenizer="mr-checker/yt-comments-sentiment-distilbert"
)

# Example dataframe (already merged with titles)
eval_df = pd.DataFrame({
    "title": ["I Created a $1.000.000 Beauty Brand Using AI"],
    "comment_text": ["This video is amazing, but credits are too expensive!"]
})

# Combine title + comment_text
eval_df["text"] = (
    eval_df["title"].astype(str)
    + " [SEP] "
    + eval_df["comment_text"].astype(str)
)

# Run inference
results = sentiment_pipeline(
    list(eval_df["text"]),
    truncation=True,
    max_length=256
)

# Attach predictions back to dataframe
eval_df["predicted_label"] = [r["label"] for r in results]
eval_df["confidence"] = [r["score"] for r in results]

print(eval_df[["title", "comment_text", "predicted_label", "confidence"]])
