+# Fine-tuned distilroberta-base for detecting whether news is from a wire service
+
+# Model Description
+
+This model is a finetuned distilroberta-base, for classifying whether news articles are from a wire service. 
+
+# How to Use
+
+```python
+from transformers import pipeline
+classifier = pipeline("text-classification", model="dell-research-harvard/wire-classifier")
+classifier("Washington (AP) Two men died in a car crash")
+```
+
+# Training data
+
+The model was trained on a hand-labelled sample of data from the [NEWSWIRE dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/dell-research-harvard/newswire).
