Abstract: Sentiment analysis in low-resource languages has a tough obstacle to jump over because there just isn’t enough labeled data. Traditional deep learning models tend to hit a wall in these situations since they need large datasets to really shine. To tackle this issue, we came up with Few-Shot Sentiment Adaptation (FSSA), a meta-learning framework based on MAML. This cool approach lets us classify sentiment with just a few labeled examples. By training on languages that have lots of resources and then adapting to those that don’t, we can quickly pick up on sentiment patterns using a 5-way, 5-shot method. We tested FSSA on some public low-resource sentiment datasets and compared it with fine- tuned BERT models, zero-shot learning, and other few-shot classification techniques. Our results showed a major improvement over existing methods, proving to be pretty adaptable even when dealing with limited data. Unlike the usual transfer learning methods, FSSA allows for quick tweaks without needing extensive fine-tuning, making it ideal for real-world low-resource Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. This research helps bridge the gap between high- and low-resource languages in the NLP field, reducing the reliance on large annotated datasets. We’ve made few-shot meta-learning for sentiment analysis easier to understand, paving the way for more strong and efficient language models.
