FinBERT is a BERT model pre-trained on financial communication text. The purpose is to enhance financial NLP research and practice.
Pre-training
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
The entire training is done using an NVIDIA DGX-1 machine. The server has 4 Tesla P100 GPUs, providing a total of 128 GB of GPU memory. This machine enables us to train the BERT models using a batch size of 128. We utilize Horovord framework for multi-GPU training. Overall, the total time taken to perform pretraining for one model is approximately 2 days.

FinBERT can be further fine-tuned on downstream tasks. Specifically, we have fine-tuned FinBERT on an analyst sentiment classification task, and the fine-tuned model is shared at https://huggingface.co/demo-org/auditor_review_model
Usage
Load the model directly from Transformers:
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("demo-org/finbert-pretrain", use_auth_token=True)
