Fine-tuned BERTurk outperforms LLMs in Turkish sentiment analysis

A new study investigates the effectiveness of fine-tuning versus prompting large language models (LLMs) for Turkish sentiment analysis. The research found that fine-tuned BERTurk models outperformed prompted LLMs on a three-class sentiment classification task, particularly when dealing with neutral reviews. The findings indicate that while LLMs show promise, supervised fine-tuning remains crucial for robust sentiment analysis, especially when a neutral category is included. AI

IMPACT Fine-tuning remains a critical technique for specialized NLP tasks, even with the rise of large language models.
