# bert-finetuned-claim-detection
This model is a fine-tuned version of [bert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased) on an unknown dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.2241
- Accuracy: 0.9135
- F1: 0.9138
## Model description
This model is a fine-tuned version of [`bert-base-uncased`](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased)
on the **Claim Detection** dataset ([Nithiwat/claim-detection](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Nithiwat/claim-detection)).
The goal of this model is to classify whether a given sentence is a **check-worthy claim** or not.
It is trained as a **binary text classification** task using the Hugging Face `Trainer` API.
## Intended uses & limitations
This model is designed for text-level claim detection, with potential applications in:
* βœ… Insurance claim screening
* βœ… Fraud detection and compliance document filtering
* βœ… Fact-checking or misinformation detection
* βœ… News or policy statement classification
### Limitations
* Trained only on English-language data
* Detects checkworthiness, not truthfulness β€” the model identifies statements that can be fact-checked, not whether they are true
* May require fine-tuning for domain-specific text (e.g., legal, financial)
## Training and evaluation data
Training and evaluation were conducted using the Hugging Face `Trainer` class with
custom metric computation (Accuracy and F1-score).
The model was fine-tuned on 11,000 training samples and evaluated on the full test split.
## Example Usage
```python
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-classification", model="EllenLiu/bert-finetuned-claim-detection")
text = "The new policy will save the government $20 billion annually."
print(pipe(text))
# Output: [{'label': 'LABEL_1', 'score': 0.987}]
```
Interpretation:
* LABEL_1: Claim (check-worthy statement)
* LABEL_0: Non-claim (non-factual or subjective statement)
