Project-Blockbuster

Model Overview

• Model Name: Project-Blockbuster
• Model Type: Sentiment Analysis
• Base Model: TinyBERT (prajjwal1/bert-tiny)
• Fine-tuned by: Jack Mander

Description:

Project-Blockbuster is a sentiment analysis model fine-tuned on the IMDB Dataset for classifying movie reviews as either "positive" or "negative." It uses the compact TinyBERT architecture to balance performance with computational efficiency, making it suitable for resource-constrained environments.

Model Details

Model Architecture:

• Base Model: TinyBERT (prajjwal1/bert-tiny)
• Tokenizer: AutoTokenizer from Hugging Face Transformers
• Training Framework: Transformers, PEFT, and BitsAndBytes libraries

Training Data:

• The model was fine-tuned using the IMDB Dataset, which contains 50,000 labeled movie reviews.
• The data was split into training (80%) and test (20%) sets using stratified sampling to maintain label balance.
• Tokenization was applied with a maximum sequence length of 512 tokens.

Hyperparameters:

• Learning Rate: 3e-5
• Epochs: 3
• Batch Size: 16 (with gradient accumulation steps of 2)
• Optimizer: AdamW
• Scheduler: Linear learning rate decay

Training Procedure

Environment:

• The model was trained on a Tesla T4 GPU in Google Colab using mixed precision (FP16) for efficiency.

Data Preparation:

1. The IMDB Dataset was preprocessed into training and test sets with stratified sampling.
2. Text data was tokenized using TinyBERT's tokenizer with truncation and padding.

Model Training:

• Fine-tuning was performed using parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) via LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation).
• TinyBERT was quantized to 4-bit precision with the BitsAndBytes library for faster and more memory-efficient training.

"I absolutely loved this movie. The characters were so well-developed!"

Prediction:

Positive

Input:

"This was one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone."

Prediction:

Negative

Limitations and Biases

• Task-Specific: The model is fine-tuned for movie review sentiment analysis and may not generalize well to other domains or datasets.
• Data Bias: Any biases present in the IMDB Dataset, such as overrepresentation of certain styles or phrases, may be reflected in the model's predictions.
• Resource Constraints: While TinyBERT is efficient, its smaller size means it may miss subtle nuances in complex reviews compared to larger models like BERT-base.

Usage

To use this model, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Hugging Face:

   huggingface-cli login
   

2. Load the model:

   from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
   
   tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jamander/Project-Blockbuster")
   model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("jamander/Project-Blockbuster")
   

3. Tokenize and predict:

   inputs = tokenizer("I loved the movie!", return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True)
   outputs = model(**inputs)
   prediction = torch.argmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
   print("Prediction:", "Positive" if prediction == 1 else "Negative")
