Detection of employment status disclosures on Twitter

Model main characteristics:

• class: Lost Job (1), else (0)
• country: US
• language: English
• architecture: BERT base

Model description

This model is a version of DeepPavlov/bert-base-cased-conversational finetuned by @manueltonneau to recognize English tweets where a user mentions that she lost her job in the past month. It was trained on English tweets from US-based users. 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)
