+# Detection of employment status disclosures on Twitter 
+
+## Model main characteristics:
+- class: Lost Job (1), else (0)
+- country: BR 
+- language: Portuguese
+- architecture: BERT base
+
+## Model description 
+This model is a version of `neuralmind/bert-base-portuguese-cased` finetuned to recognize Portuguese tweets where a user mentions that she lost her job in the past month. It was trained on Portuguese tweets from users based in Brazil. The task is framed as a binary classification problem with:
+- the positive class referring to tweets mentioning that a user recently lost her job (label=1)
+- the negative class referring to all other tweets (label=0)
+
+## Resources
+
+The dataset of Portuguese tweets on which this classifier was trained is open-sourced [here](https://github.com/manueltonneau/twitter-unemployment).
+Details on the performance can be found in our [ACL 2022 paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.09178).
