# Model Card for SocialBERT-base
## Model Description
Based on [this paper](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4622514), this is the SocialBERT-base language model. A language model that is trained to better understand social texts in the ESG domain.
Using the [DistilRoBERTa](https://huggingface.co/distilroberta-base) model as a starting point, the SocialBERT-base Language Model is additionally pre-trained on a text corpus comprising social-related annual reports, sustainability reports, and corporate and general news.
