# SSCI-BERT: A pretrained language model for social scientific text


## Introduction

The research for social science texts needs the support natural language processing tools. 

The pre-trained language model has greatly improved the accuracy of text mining in general texts. At present, there is an urgent need for a pre-trained language model specifically for the automatic processing of scientific texts in social science. 

We used the abstract of social science research as the training set. Based on the deep language model framework of BERT, we constructed [SSCI-BERT and SSCI-SciBERT](https://github.com/S-T-Full-Text-Knowledge-Mining/SSCI-BERT)  pre-training language models by [transformers/run_mlm.py](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/pytorch/language-modeling/run_mlm.py). 

We designed four downstream tasks of  Text Classification on different social scientific article corpus to verify the performance of the model.

- SSCI-BERT and SSCI-SciBERT are trained on the abstract of  articles published in SSCI journals from 1986 to 2021. The training set involved in the experiment included a total of `503910614 words`. 
- Based on the idea of Domain-Adaptive Pretraining, `SSCI-BERT` and `SSCI-SciBERT` combine a large amount of abstracts of scientific articles  based on the BERT structure, and continue to train the BERT and SSCI-SciBERT models respectively to obtain pre-training models for the automatic processing of Social science research texts. 



## News 

- 2022-03-24 : SSCIBERT and SSCI-SciBERT has been put forward for the first time.



##  How to use

### Huggingface Transformers 

The `from_pretrained` method based on [Huggingface Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) can directly obtain SSCI-BERT and SSCI-SciBERT models online. 



- SSCI-BERT

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/SSCI-BERT-e2")

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/SSCI-BERT-e2")
```

- SSCI-SciBERT

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/SSCI-SciBERT-e2")

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("KM4STfulltext/SSCI-SciBERT-e2")
```
