BERT-JFJB-violence-0.1

BERT Violence Detection Model

This model is fine-tuned for detecting violent and non-violent content in Chinese text using BERT. It is based on the research presented in the paper "Vectors of Violence: Legitimation and Distribution of State Power in the People's Liberation Army Daily (Jiefangjun Bao), 1956-1989" by Aaron Gilkison and Maciej Kurzynski.

Model Description

The model is based on bert-base-chinese and fine-tuned for sequence classification with two labels: non-violent (0) and violent (1). The fine-tuning corpus included a large number of articles from the People's Liberation Army Daily (Jiefangjun Bao, or JFJB) which is one of the official newspapers in the People's Republic of China. Further updates to the model are expected in the future.

Usage

Here’s how you can use this model with the Transformers library:

from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertForSequenceClassification

model_name = "qhchina/BERT-JFJB-violence-0.1"
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

sentence = "今天天气那么好，我们出去玩吧"

inputs = tokenizer(sentence, return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model(**inputs)
logits = outputs.logits

# Get the predicted label
predicted_label = logits.argmax(-1).item()
label_mapping = {0: "non-violent", 1: "violent"}
predicted_label_name = label_mapping[predicted_label]

print(f"Sentence: {sentence}")
print(f"Predicted label: {predicted_label_name}")
