Model description

This model can be used to predict whether a text contains or does not contain a story.

For our definition of "story" please refer to our codebook.

Quick Start with Colab

You can view a demonstration of how to load our annotations, fetch the texts, load our fine-tuned model from Hugging Face, and run predictions. If you use the Colab link, you don't need to download anything or set up anything on your local machine; everything will run in your internet browser.

Intended uses & limitations

This model is intended for researchers interested in measuring storytelling in online communities, though it can be applied to other kinds of datasets (see generalization results in our preprint).

Training and evaluation data

The model was fine-tuned on the training split of the 🔭StorySeeker dataset, which contains 301 Reddit posts and comments annotated with story and event spans. This model was fine-tuned using binary document labels (the document contains a story or does not contain a story).
