# Fine-tuned distilroberta-base for detecting news on the labor movement

# Model Description

This model is a finetuned distilroberta-base, for classifying whether news articles are about the labor movement. 

# How to Use

```python
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("text-classification", model="dell-research-harvard/topic-labor_movement")
classifier("Strikes in Pittsburgh")
```

# Training data

The model was trained on a hand-labelled sample of data from the [NEWSWIRE dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/dell-research-harvard/newswire).
