The proliferation of pretrained machine learning models has facilitated their application across a variety of domains, from finance to social media analysis. However, these models often exhibit domain-specific biases, limiting their cross-domain performance. This study investigates the accuracy and reliability of various sentiment analysis models when applied to datasets outside of their primary training domain. It looks at eight different pretrained models, two from the financial domain, and seven from general sentiment analysis models. By analyzing the performance of these models on both finance-based datasets and social media-based datasets, we highlight the need for techniques like Structural Correspondence Learning (SCL) to bridge the domain gap and improve model generalization. The study also discusses the importance of domain-specific fine-tuning, data augmentation, transfer learning techniques, and hybrid approaches to further enhance the performance of pretrained models in cross-domain sentiment analysis tasks.
