Model fine-tuned from roberta-large for sentiment classification of financial news (emphasis on Canadian news).

Introduction

This model was train on financial_news_sentiment_mixte_with_phrasebank_75 dataset. This is a customized version of the phrasebank dataset in which I kept only sentence validated by at least 75% annotators. In addition I added ~2000 articles validated manually on Canadian financial news. Therefore the model is more specifically trained for Canadian news. Final result is f1 score of 93.25% overall and 83.6% on Canadian news.

How to use roberta-large-financial-news-sentiment-en with HuggingFace

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Jean-Baptiste/roberta-large-financial-news-sentiment-en")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("Jean-Baptiste/roberta-large-financial-news-sentiment-en")


##### Process text sample (from wikipedia)

from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-classification", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
pipe("Melcor REIT (TSX: MR.UN) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Revenue was stable in the quarter and year-to-date.
