## CentralBankRoBERTa

CentralBankRoBERTA is a large language model. It combines an economic agent classifier that distinguishes five basic macroeconomic agents with a binary [sentiment classifier](https://huggingface.co/Moritz-Pfeifer/CentralBankRoBERTa-sentiment-classifier) that identifies the emotional content of sentences in central bank communications.

#### Overview

The AgentClassifier model is designed to classify the target agent of a given text. It can determine whether the text is adressing **households**, **firms**, **the financial sector**, **the government** or **the central bank** itself. This model is based on the RoBERTa architecture and has been fine-tuned on a diverse and extensive dataset to provide accurate predictions.

#### Intended Use

The AgentClassifier model is intended to be used for the analysis of central bank communications where content categorization based on target agents is essential. 

#### Performance

- Accuracy: 93%
- F1 Score: 0.93
- Precision: 0.93
- Recall: 0.93

### Usage

You can use these models in your own applications by leveraging the Hugging Face Transformers library. Below is a Python code snippet demonstrating how to load and use the AgentClassifier model:

```python
from transformers import pipeline

# Load the AgentClassifier model
agent_classifier = pipeline("text-classification", model="Moritz-Pfeifer/CentralBankRoBERTa-agent-classifier")

# Perform agent classification
agent_result = agent_classifier("We used our liquidity tools to make funding available to banks that might need it.")
print("Agent Classification:", agent_result[0]['label'])
```
