This model is a multi-class classifier, model fine-tuned using the model 'bert-base-uncased'.

It is built around a large corpus of Twitter users' metadata.

It filters the data into 3 main categories - (1) Non-ExpertUser (2) ExpertUser (3) Other. The aim of this project was to find out whether a tweet belongs to an individual or not. And if it is, whether the person is an expert in the field of Security and Privacy.

Originally, the Model had 4 classes - where the 'Other' field was classified into 'Non-Person' (denoting accounts such as organizations)and 'Unknown'.

Since the main aim was to find out about whether a user is a non-expert user or not, the classes were reduced to 3 classes in this version 2.

The validation scores for the module were as follows

Accuracy = 0.93

Class Precision Recall F1-Score
ExpertUser (0) 0.88 0.90 0.89
Non-ExpertUser (1) 0.95 0.97 0.96
Other (2) 0.85 0.78 0.81
