Model Card for GovRoBERTa-base
Model Description
Based on this paper, this is the GovRoBERTa-base language model. A language model that is trained to better understand governance texts in the ESG domain.
Note: We generally recommend choosing the GovernanceBERT-base model since it is quicker, less resource-intensive and only marginally worse in performance.
Using the RoBERTa model as a starting point, the GovRoBERTa-base Language Model is additionally pre-trained on a text corpus comprising governance-related annual reports, sustainability reports, and corporate and general news.
