In 2023, the field of NLP was again flurried -- the appearing of powerful closed- and opens-source LLMs opened new possibility for texts processing. However, many questions about these models usability for typical NLP tasks are still open. One of them is quite simple -- if we want a classification model for some task, can we rely on LLMs or is it still better to fine-tune an own model? It might be easier to obtain some classifier for English, but what if my target language is not so resource-rich? In this presentation, the main "recipes" how to obtain the best text classifier depending on the language and data availability will be described.
