Abstract

Social media monitoring alongside business intelligence needs accurate sentiment analysis because the digital activity of Bangla-speaking communities keeps expanding. The current classification models do not deliver effective Bangla context analysis mainly because of insufficient annotated datasets when processing rare languages. The research examines sentiment classification through the combination of deep learning transformers, Flair, TARS (TaskAware Representation of Sentences), and GPT-2 (Generative Pre-training Transformer) with traditional machine learning algorithms such as LR (Logistic Regression), SVC (Support Vector Classifier), RF (Random Forest), XGB (XGBoost), DT (Decision Tree), KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors), and NB (Naive Bayes). During tests on our Bangla dataset, the Flair model implementing Bangla BERT Base embeddings produced the best performance of 94.21% accuracy, which surpassed both TARS at 88.5% and traditional classifiers. Embedded into contexts selects complex sentiment patterns efficiently, which proves integral to boosting low-resource NLP (Natural Language Processing) task performance. For better sentiment classification in practical settings, researchers will concentrate on enhancing the efficiency and diversity of datasets and implementing crosslingual capabilities.
