The EduRABSA_SLM Model Family
The "EduRABSA_SLM" model family consists of fine-tuned multi-task small LLMs (SLMs) designed for resource-efficient opinion mining on education-domain reviews of courses, teaching staff, and universities (e.g. student course or teaching evaluations, and open-ended survey responses).

}The EduRABSA_SLM multi-task models can perform opinion mining across the following fine-grained Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) tasks, extracting outputs for and across each review entry as illustrated in the image below:
- Opinion Extraction (OE)
- Aspect-Opinion Pair-Extraction (AOPE)
- Aspect-opinion Categorisation (AOC; ASC with opinion term)
- Aspect-(opinion)-Sentiment Triplet Extraction (ASTE)
- Aspect-(opinion-category)-Sentiment Quadruplet Extraction (ASQE)

Model Info
This model is to be used with the transformers.js library.
This is a WebGPU-focused, ONNX format, int4 (q4) quantised (accuracylevel=1, blocksize=32) version of the model below:
EduRABSA_SLM_v1_SLERP_qw2.5-1.5B=merged_Qwen2.5_SLERPin the paper, base model Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct.
Each of the original EduRABSASLMV1SLERP models was created via weight-merging (using the SLERP algorithm) two LoRA fine-tuned models on the same base model, and shares the multi-task capabilities described above. The **EduRABSASLM** LoRA adaptors were fine-tuned using the EduRABSA dataset.
The model follows its base model's hardware and environment requirements, unless the model name contains onnx (in which case, please refer to the onnx-model's README file).
Full details regarding the development and performance of the EduRABSA_SLM models are available in our paper Data-Efficient Adaptation and a Novel Evaluation Method for Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis.
How to Use
- Please see the guide and example code from the `transformers.js` official documentation.
