## Model Specification
- This is the **Republican** community GPT-2 language model, fine-tuned on 4.7M (~100M tokens) tweets of Republican Twitter users between 2019-01-01 and 2020-04-10. 
- For more details about the `CommunityLM` project, please refer to this [our paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.07065) and [github](https://github.com/hjian42/communitylm) page. 
- In the paper, it is referred as the `Fine-tuned CommunityLM` for the Republican Twitter community. 

## How to use the model

- **PRE-PROCESSING**: when you apply the model on tweets, please make sure that tweets are preprocessed by the [TweetTokenizer](https://github.com/VinAIResearch/BERTweet/blob/master/TweetNormalizer.py) to get the best performance.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CommunityLM/republican-twitter-gpt2")

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("CommunityLM/republican-twitter-gpt2")
```
