This thesis considers sentiment polarity analysis in Swedish. De-spite being the most widely spoken of the Nordic languages less re-search in sentiment has been conducted in this area compared toneighboring languages. As such this is a largely exploratory projectusing techniques that have shown positive results for other languages.We perform a comparison of techniques applied to a CNN to existingSwedish and multilingual variations of the state of the art BERTmodel. We find that the preprocessing techniques do in fact bene-fit our CNN model, but still do not match the results of fine-tuned BERT models. We conclude that a Swedish specific BERT modelcan outperform the generic multilingual ones, but only under certainconditions.
