# Financial News Topic Classifier

This model is a fine-tuned BERT-based classifier for financial news topic classification based on [fuchenru/Trading-Hero-LLM](https://huggingface.co/fuchenru/Trading-Hero-LLM/blob/main/README.md), supporting 20 distinct financial topics. It is designed for use in financial NLP applications, news analytics, and automated trading systems.

## Model Description

- **Architecture:** BERT (for sequence classification)
- **Framework:** PyTorch, Transformers
- **Topics:** 20 financial news categories (see below)
- **License:** MIT

## Intended Uses & Limitations

- **Intended Use:**  
  - Classify financial news headlines or short texts into one of 20 financial topics.
  - Use in financial analytics, news monitoring, and trading agent pipelines.
- **Limitations:**  
  - Trained on zeroshot/twitter-financial-news-topic; may not generalize to all financial news sources.
  - Not suitable for non-financial or long-form text.

## Topics

| ID | Topic                        |
|----|------------------------------|
| 0  | Analyst Update               |
| 1  | Fed \| Central Banks         |
| 2  | Company \| Product News      |
| 3  | Treasuries \| Corporate Debt |
| 4  | Dividend                     |
| 5  | Earnings                     |
| 6  | Energy \| Oil                |
| 7  | Financials                   |
| 8  | Currencies                   |
| 9  | General News \| Opinion      |
| 10 | Gold \| Metals \| Materials  |
| 11 | IPO                          |
| 12 | Legal \| Regulation          |
| 13 | M&A \| Investments           |
| 14 | Macro                        |
| 15 | Markets                      |
| 16 | Politics                     |
| 17 | Personnel Change             |
| 18 | Stock Commentary             |
| 19 | Stock Movement               |

## Example Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, pipeline

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("leonas5555/finnews-topic-single-classify")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("leonas5555/finnews-topic-single-classify")

nlp = pipeline("text-classification", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

# Example text
text = "LIVE: ECB surprises with 50bps hike, ending its negative rate era. President Christine Lagarde is taking questions"

result = nlp(text)
print(result)
# Output: [{'label': 'Fed | Central Banks', 'score': 0.98}]
```

## Example Inputs & Outputs

| Example Text                                                                                                         | Predicted Topic                |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| "Here are Thursday's biggest analyst calls: Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Palantir, DocuSign, Exxon & more"                  | Analyst Update                |
| "LIVE: ECB surprises with 50bps hike, ending its negative rate era."                                                 | Fed \| Central Banks          |
| "Goldman Sachs traders countered the industry's underwriting slump with revenue gains that raced past analysts' estimates." | Company \| Product News       |
| "China Evergrande Group's onshore bond holders rejected a plan by the distressed developer to further extend a bond payment." | Treasuries \| Corporate Debt  |
| "Investing Club: Morgan Stanley's dividend, buyback pay us for our patience after quarterly missteps"                 | Dividend                      |
