# Model Card for GovRoBERTa-base
## Model Description
Based on [this paper](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4622514), this is the GovRoBERTa-base language model. A language model that is trained to better understand governance texts in the ESG domain.
*Note: We generally recommend choosing the [GovernanceBERT-base](https://huggingface.co/ESGBERT/GovernanceBERT-base) model since it is quicker, less resource-intensive and only marginally worse in performance.*
Using the [RoBERTa](https://huggingface.co/roberta-base) model as a starting point, the GovRoBERTa-base Language Model is additionally pre-trained on a text corpus comprising governance-related annual reports, sustainability reports, and corporate and general news.
