## UnBIAS Classification BERT Model

### Model Description
This model is trained to classify news articles or statements into categories of bias. The main goal is to determine whether a given text is biased or neutral.

### Intended Use
The primary use case for this model is for media analysts, news consumers, or researchers who want to understand the bias in a particular article or statement.

### Inputs
The model expects raw text (in English) that you want to classify. The text can be a full article, a paragraph, or even a single sentence.

### Outputs
The model classifies each input into one of the three categories:

- **Neutral**: The text doesn't display any apparent bias.
- **Biased**: The text displays some level of bias.

### Model Training and Evaluation
The model was trained on a proprietary dataset containing labeled examples of biased and neutral statements/articles.

### How to Use
You can use this model with the Hugging Face `transformers` library. Here's a quick code example:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

# Load tokenizer and model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("newsmediabias/UnBIAS-classification-bert")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("newsmediabias/UnBIAS-classification-bert")

# Function for batch inference
def classify_news_bias_batch(texts):
    # Tokenize input texts
    inputs = tokenizer(texts, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=512, padding='max_length')

    # Get model's predictions
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        logits = outputs.logits

    # Find the class with the maximum logit value for each text and map to descriptive label from config
    predicted_class_idxs = torch.argmax(logits, dim=1).tolist()
    descriptive_labels = [model.config.id2label[idx] for idx in predicted_class_idxs]

    return descriptive_labels

# Test with a batch of examples
texts_batch = [
    "The government's policies have led to a stable economy and prosperity.",
    "Unemployment has skyrocketed, leading to widespread discontent among the masses.",
    "The city council announced new regulations to curb pollution.",
    "Corporate greed continues to destroy our environment without any checks.",
    "Economic indicators suggest a mild recession might be on the horizon.",
    "Politicians from both sides are to blame for the current crisis."
]

predicted_biases = classify_news_bias_batch(texts_batch)
for text, bias in zip(texts_batch, predicted_biases):
    print(f"Text: {text}\nBias: {bias}\n{'-'*80}")

```

### Limitations
- The model may not always perfectly discern the subtleties of bias in every context. 
- Biased doesn't specify the type or direction of the bias. It's a broad categorization.
