What is finbert-esg?
FinBERT-ESG is a specialized financial language model designed for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) analysis. It's built upon the BERT architecture and has been fine-tuned on 2,000 manually annotated sentences from ESG reports and annual reports to classify financial text into ESG categories.
Implementation Details
The model is implemented using the Transformers library and PyTorch framework. It processes financial text through a BERT-based architecture and outputs classifications into four categories: Environmental, Social, Governance, or None. The model can be easily integrated using the Transformers pipeline for text classification tasks.
