|
# Model Description |
|
|
|
This model is a finetuned distilroberta-base, for classifying whether news articles are from a wire service. |
|
|
|
# How to Use |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from transformers import pipeline |
|
classifier = pipeline("text-classification", model="dell-research-harvard/wire-classifier") |
|
classifier("Washington (AP) Two men died in a car crash") |
|
``` |
|
|
|
# Training data |
