Distilroberta Base Climate Tcfd

🚀 Model Card for distilroberta-base-climate-tcfd

This is a fine - tuned ClimateBERT language model that can classify climate - related paragraphs into four TCFD recommendation categories, providing valuable insights for climate - related research and analysis.

🚀 Quick Start

You can use the model with a pipeline for text classification:

from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
from transformers.pipelines.pt_utils import KeyDataset
import datasets
from tqdm.auto import tqdm

dataset_name = "climatebert/tcfd_recommendations"
model_name = "climatebert/distilroberta-base-climate-tcfd"

# If you want to use your own data, simply load them as 🤗 Datasets dataset, see https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading
dataset = datasets.load_dataset(dataset_name, split="test")

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, max_len=512)

pipe = pipeline("text-classification", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, device=0)

# See https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.pipeline
for out in tqdm(pipe(KeyDataset(dataset, "text"), padding=True, truncation=True)):
   print(out)

✨ Features

This is the fine - tuned ClimateBERT language model with a classification head for classifying climate - related paragraphs into the four TCFD recommendation categories ([fsb - tcfd.org](https://www.fsb - tcfd.org)).

Using the [climatebert/distilroberta - base - climate - f](https://huggingface.co/climatebert/distilroberta - base - climate - f) language model as starting point, the distilroberta - base - climate - tcfd model is fine - tuned on our climatebert/tcfd_recommendations dataset using only the four recommendation categories (i.e., we remove the non - climate - related class from the dataset).

⚠️ Important Note

This model is trained on paragraphs. It may not perform well on sentences.
