# Model Card Climate-TwitterBERT-step-1
## Overview:
Using Covid-Twitter-BERT-v2 (https://huggingface.co/digitalepidemiologylab/covid-twitter-bert-v2) as the starting model, we continued domain-adaptive pre-training on a corpus of firm tweets between 2007 and 2020. The model was then fine-tuned on the downstream task to classify whether a given tweet is related to climate change topics.
The model provides a label and probability score, indicating whether a given tweet is related to climate change topics (label = 'Climate') or not (label = 'Non-climate').
## Performance metrics:
Based on the test set, the model achieves the following results:
• Loss: 0.0632
• F1-weighted: 0.9778
• F1: 0.9148
• Accuracy: 0.9775
• Precision: 0. 8841
• Recall: 0. 9477
## Example usage:
```python
from transformers import pipeline, AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
task_name = 'text-classification'
model_name = 'Climate-TwitterBERT/ Climate-TwitterBERT-step1'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
pipe = pipeline(task=task_name, model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
tweet = "We are committed to significantly cutting our carbon emissions by 30% before 2030."
result = pipe(tweet)
# The 'result' variable will contain the classification output: 'Climate' or 'Non-climate'.
```
