# TransformationTransformer

**TransformationTransformer** is a fine-tuned [distilroberta](https://huggingface.co/distilroberta-base) model. It is trained and evaluated on 10,000 manually annotated sentences gleaned from the Q&A-section of quarterly earnings conference calls. In particular, it was trained on sentences issued by firm executives to discriminate between setnences that allude to **business transformation** vis-à-vis those that discuss topics other than business transformations. More details about the training procedure can be found [below](#model-training).


## Background

Context on the project. 


## Usage

The model is intented to be used for sentence classification: It creates a contextual text representation from the input sentence and outputs a probability value. `LABEL_1` refers to a sentence that is predicted to contains transformation-related content (vice versa for `LABEL_0`). The query should consist of a single sentence.


## Usage (API)

```python
import json
import requests

API_TOKEN = <TOKEN>

headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_TOKEN}"}
API_URL = "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/simonschoe/call2vec"

def query(payload):
    data = json.dumps(payload)
    response = requests.request("POST", API_URL, headers=headers, data=data)
    return json.loads(response.content.decode("utf-8"))

query({"inputs": "<insert-sentence-here>"})
```

## Usage (transformers)

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("simonschoe/TransformationTransformer")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("simonschoe/TransformationTransformer")

classifier = pipeline('text-classification',  model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
classifier('<insert-sentence-here>')
```


## Model Training

The model has been trained on text data stemming from earnings call transcripts. The data is restricted to a call's question-and-answer (Q&A) section and the remarks by firm executives. The data has been segmented into individual sentences using [`spacy`](https://spacy.io/).
