# FinTwitBERT
FinTwitBERT is a language model specifically pre-trained on a large dataset of financial tweets. This specialized BERT model aims to capture the unique jargon and communication style found in the financial Twitter sphere, making it an ideal tool for sentiment analysis, trend prediction, and other financial NLP tasks.
## Sentiment Analysis
The [FinTwitBERT-sentiment](https://huggingface.co/StephanAkkerman/FinTwitBERT-sentiment) model leverages FinTwitBERT for the sentiment analysis of financial tweets, offering nuanced insights into the prevailing market sentiments.
## Dataset
FinTwitBERT is pre-trained on several financial tweets datasets, consisting of tweets mentioning stocks and cryptocurrencies:
- [StephanAkkerman/crypto-stock-tweets](https://huggingface.co/datasets/StephanAkkerman/crypto-stock-tweets): 8,024,269 tweets
- [StephanAkkerman/stock-market-tweets-data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/StephanAkkerman/stock-market-tweets-data): 923,673 tweets
- [StephanAkkerman/financial-tweets](https://huggingface.co/datasets/StephanAkkerman/financial-tweets): 263,119 tweets
## Model Details
Based on the [FinBERT](https://huggingface.co/yiyanghkust/finbert-pretrain) model and tokenizer, FinTwitBERT includes additional masks (`@USER` and `[URL]`) to handle common elements in tweets. The model underwent 10 epochs of pre-training, with early stopping to prevent overfitting.
## More Information
For a comprehensive overview, including the complete training setup details and more, visit the [FinTwitBERT GitHub repository](https://github.com/TimKoornstra/FinTwitBERT).
## Usage
Using [HuggingFace's transformers library](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/index) the model and tokenizers can be converted into a pipeline for masked language modeling.
```python
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline(
"fill-mask",
model="StephanAkkerman/FinTwitBERT",
)
print(pipe("Bitcoin is a [MASK] coin."))
```
