# Model Card for GovRoBERTa-governance

## Model Description

This is the GovRoBERTa-governance language model. A language model that is trained to better classify governance texts in the ESG domain.

Using the [GovRoBERTa-base](https://huggingface.co/ESGBERT/GovRoBERTa-base) model as a starting point, the GovRoBERTa-governance Language Model is additionally fine-trained on a 2k governance dataset to detect governance text samples.

## How to Get Started With the Model
You can use the model with a pipeline for text classification:

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
import datasets
 
tokenizer_name = "ESGBERT/GovRoBERTa-governance"
model_name = "ESGBERT/GovRoBERTa-governance"
 
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(tokenizer_name, max_len=512)
 
pipe = pipeline("text-classification", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, device=0)
 
# See https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.pipeline
print(pipe("We also intend to improve both the monitoring (compliance) process of how our asset managers engage and engagement outcomes."))
```
