# Detection of employment status disclosures on Twitter 

## Model main characteristics:
- class: Is Unemployed (1), else (0)
- country: MX 
- language: Spanish
- architecture: BERT base

## Model description 
This model is a version of `dccuchile/bert-base-spanish-wwm-cased` finetuned by [@manueltonneau](https://huggingface.co/manueltonneau) to recognize Spanish tweets where a user mentions that she is unemployed. It was trained on Spanish tweets from users based in Mexico. The task is framed as a binary classification problem with:
- the positive class referring to tweets mentioning that a user is currently unemployed (label=1)
- the negative class referring to all other tweets (label=0)

## Resources

The dataset of Spanish tweets on which this classifier was trained is open-sourced [here](https://github.com/manueltonneau/twitter-unemployment).
Details on the performance can be found in our [ACL 2022 paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.09178).
