  `FinBERT` is a BERT model pre-trained on financial communication text. The purpose is to enhance financial NLP research and practice. It is trained on the following three financial communication corpus. The total corpora size is 4.9B tokens.
  - Corporate Reports 10-K & 10-Q: 2.5B tokens
  - Earnings Call Transcripts: 1.3B tokens
  - Analyst Reports: 1.1B tokens

  This released `finbert-tone` model is the `FinBERT` model fine-tuned on 10,000 manually annotated (positive, negative, neutral) sentences from analyst reports. This model achieves superior performance on financial tone analysis task. If you are simply interested in using `FinBERT` for financial tone analysis, give it a try.

  # How to use 
  You can use this model with Transformers pipeline for sentiment analysis.
  ```python
  from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertForSequenceClassification
  from transformers import pipeline
  
  finbert = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('yiyanghkust/finbert-tone',num_labels=3)
  tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('yiyanghkust/finbert-tone')
  
  nlp = pipeline("sentiment-analysis", model=finbert, tokenizer=tokenizer)
  
  sentences = ["there is a shortage of capital, and we need extra financing",  
               "growth is strong and we have plenty of liquidity", 
               "there are doubts about our finances", 
               "profits are flat"]
  results = nlp(sentences)
  print(results)  #LABEL_0: neutral; LABEL_1: positive; LABEL_2: negative
  
  ```
