Fine-tuning of lightweight large language models for sentiment classification on heterogeneous financial textual data
Paper • 2512.00946 • Published
This model is a parameter-efficient fine-tuned version of Qwen3-8B, adapted using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) for financial sentiment analysis.
It is trained as an instruction-following text generation model that classifies financial sentences into:
positivenegativeneutralThe model generates a single-word output, making it suitable for lightweight classification pipelines while retaining generative flexibility.
This model is intended for:
Example applications:
This model is highly sensitive to prompt structure.
It was trained using a fixed instruction template, and performance depends heavily on using the same format at inference time.
You are an AI language model trained to detect the sentiment of each sentence for finance trends.
Analyze the following sentence and determine if the sentiment is: positive or negative or neutral.
Return only a single word, either positive or negative or neutral.
