# Detection of employment status disclosures on Twitter 

## Model main characteristics:
- class: Job Search (1), else (0)
- country: BR 
- language: Portuguese
- architecture: BERT base

## Model description 
This model is a version of `neuralmind/bert-base-portuguese-cased` finetuned to recognize Portuguese tweets mentioning that the user is currently looking for a job. It was trained on Portuguese tweets from users based in Brazil. The task is framed as a binary classification problem with:
- the positive class referring to tweets mentioning that the user is looking for a job (label=1)
- the negative class referring to all other tweets (label=0)

## Resources

The dataset of Portuguese tweets on which this classifier was trained is open-sourced [here](https://github.com/manueltonneau/twitter-unemployment).
