This model is pre-trained on over 5 million English tweets about the 2020 US Presidential Election. Then fine-tuned using our stance-labeled data for stance detection towards Donald Trump.

Training Objective

This model is initialized with BERT-base and trained with normal MLM objective with classification layer fine-tuned for stance detection towards Donald Trump.

Usage

This pre-trained language model is fine-tuned to the stance detection task specifically for Donald Trump.
