What is FOMC-RoBERTa?
FOMC-RoBERTa is a specialized language model fine-tuned for analyzing Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) communications. Developed by the Financial Services Innovation Lab at Georgia Tech, this model is designed to classify monetary policy statements into three categories: hawkish (tighter monetary policy), dovish (looser monetary policy), or neutral stance.
Implementation Details
The model is built on RoBERTa-large architecture and is specifically trained for a three-class classification task. It processes FOMC speeches, meeting minutes, and press conference transcripts to determine monetary policy stance. The model can be easily implemented using the Hugging Face transformers library and supports batch processing with GPU acceleration.
- Supports three classification labels: Hawkish, Dovish, and Neutral
- Built using the transformers library with PyTorch backend
- Includes pre-trained tokenizer and configuration
- Optimized for financial text analysis
Core Capabilities

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this model unique?
This model is specifically trained on the largest tokenized and annotated dataset of FOMC communications, making it highly specialized for monetary policy analysis. It's the first of its kind to provide automated classification of hawkish-dovish stances in central bank communications.
Q: What are the recommended use cases?
The model is ideal for financial market analysis, monetary policy research, and automated processing of central bank communications. It can be used to study the impact of FOMC statements on treasury markets, stock markets, and macroeconomic indicators.
