  # Detection of employment status disclosures on Twitter 
  
  ## Model main characteristics:
  - class: Is Unemployed (1), else (0)
  - country: BR 
  - language: Portuguese
  - architecture: BERT base
  
  ## Model description 
  This model is a version of `neuralmind/bert-base-portuguese-cased` finetuned to recognize Portuguese tweets where a user mentions that she is currently unemployed. It was trained on Portuguese tweets from users based in Brazil. The task is framed as a binary classification problem with:
  - the positive class referring to tweets mentioning that a user is currently unemployed (label=1)
  - the negative class referring to all other tweets (label=0)
