<h1><b>Financial-RoBERTa</b></h1>
<p><b>Financial-RoBERTa</b> is a pre-trained NLP model to analyze sentiment of financial text including:</p>
<ul style="PADDING-LEFT: 40px">
  <li>Financial Statements,</li>
  <li>Earnings Announcements,</li>
  <li>Earnings Call Transcripts,</li>
  <li>Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Reports,</li>
  <li>Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) News,</li>
  <li>Financial News,</li>
  <li>Etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Financial-RoBERTa is built by further training and fine-tuning the RoBERTa Large language model using a large corpus created from 10k, 10Q, 8K, Earnings Call Transcripts, CSR Reports, ESG News, and Financial News text.</p>
<p>The model will give softmax outputs for three labels: <b>Positive</b>, <b>Negative</b> or <b>Neutral</b>.</p>
<p><b>How to perform sentiment analysis:</b></p>
<p>The easiest way to use the model for single predictions is Hugging Face's sentiment analysis pipeline, which only needs a couple lines of code as shown in the following example:</p>
<pre>
  <code>
from transformers import pipeline
sentiment_analysis = pipeline("sentiment-analysis",model="soleimanian/financial-roberta-large-sentiment")
print(sentiment_analysis("In fiscal 2021, we generated a net yield of approximately 4.19% on our investments, compared to approximately 5.10% in fiscal 2020."))
  </code>
</pre>
