T5 Time Period Extractor

This model extracts time periods from financial queries.

Usage

from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text2text-generation", model="ak837/t5-time-period-extractor")

# Important: Always prefix with "extract time: "
result = pipe("extract time: What was Apple's revenue for Q3 2023?")
print(result[0]['generated_text'])
# Output should be JSON like: {"period":"quarter","year":2023,"quarter":3}

Training

This model was fine-tuned to extract time periods from financial queries in a structured JSON format.

Output Format

The model outputs JSON with:

• period: "quarter" or "annual"
• year: The year (e.g., 2023)
• quarter: Quarter number (1-4) if applicable

Known Issue

The model sometimes outputs JSON without proper braces. You may need to add them:

output = result[0]['generated_text']
if not output.startswith('{'):
    output = '{' + output + '}'
