In the current information age, effectively understanding and categorizing large amounts of text data is paramount. Sequence classification, a core task in Natural Language Processing (NLP), addresses this need by assigning predefined categories to text sequences. This study explores prompt-based fine-tuning of Pretrained Language Models for Bengali sequence classification, addressing tasks such as sentiment analysis, bullying detection, and news categorization. We propose two prompting methods: Instruction Prompting, which provides carefully crafted instructions to guide the model through the task, and Label Information Prompting, which includes label information in the prompt to enhance the model’s understanding of the relationship between the text and the label. Our experiments demonstrate the potential of prompt-based fine-tuning in enhancing the performance of Bengali sequence classification tasks. Our method outperforms traditional fine-tuning methods with an increased accuracy of 2–4% across four publicly available datasets by employing only 20% of training data.

摘要

In the current information age, effectively understanding and categorizing large amounts of text data is paramount. Sequence classification, a core task in Natural Language Processing (NLP), addresses this need by assigning predefined categories to text sequences. This study explores prompt-based fine-tuning of Pretrained Language Models for Bengali sequence classification, addressing tasks such as sentiment analysis, bullying detection, and news categorization. We propose two prompting methods: Instruction Prompting, which provides carefully crafted instructions to guide the model through the task, and Label Information Prompting, which includes label information in the prompt to enhance the model’s understanding of the relationship between the text and the label. Our experiments demonstrate the potential of prompt-based fine-tuning in enhancing the performance of Bengali sequence classification tasks. Our method outperforms traditional fine-tuning methods with an increased accuracy of 2–4% across four publicly available datasets by employing only 20% of training data.
