# Model for detection of Orientalization of Japan in newspaper articles

This model was based on the original [HerBERT](https://huggingface.co/allegro/herbert-base-cased) Base. 

The model was finetuned on a set of Polish press articles mentioning Japan from the years 1818-1939 to recognize if an article (or any input text) presents a genuine description of Japan, or whether it is an example of the orientalization of Japan. By orientalization we mean when a text represents Japan through the lenses of [Orientalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism), or a viewpoint that presents a piece of Eastern culture, in this case - Japan - in a deformed, distorted, and idealized form. In the definition of Orientalism we follow the work by [Edward Said](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Said), especially his book "[Orientalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism_(book))".
