DarijaBERT Fine-Tuned for Sentiment Analysis 🇲🇦🧠

This sentiment analysis model is based on DarijaBERT, a language model pretrained on Moroccan Arabic (Darija) text.
The model has been fine-tuned to classify Moroccan Arabic tweets and public comments into three sentiment categories:

• Positive (2)
• Neutral (0)
• Negative (1)

---

🛠 Model Architecture

The base DarijaBERT architecture was extended with:

• Two fully connected layers of 1024 neurons each
• Dropout layer (p=0.3) to enhance generalization
• Final classification layer with 3 output neurons (one for each sentiment class)

📥 How to Use the Model

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("monsifnadir/DarijaBERT-For-Sentiment-Analysis")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("monsifnadir/DarijaBERT-For-Sentiment-Analysis")

text = "فرحت بزاف اليوم الحمد لله"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True)
outputs = model(**inputs)
predicted_class = outputs.logits.argmax(dim=-1).item()

# Map prediction to label
label_map = {0: "Neutral", 1: "Negative", 2: "Positive"}
print("Predicted Sentiment:", label_map[predicted_class])
