# PoliticalBiasBERT

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

BERT finetuned on many examples of politically biased texts

Paper and repository coming soon.
## Usage
```py
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

text = "your text here"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-cased")

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("bucketresearch/politicalBiasBERT")


inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
labels = torch.tensor([0])
outputs = model(**inputs, labels=labels)
loss, logits = outputs[:2]

# [0] -> left 
# [1] -> center
# [2] -> right
print(logits.softmax(dim=-1)[0].tolist()) 

```
