This model is designed to classify news articles

Model Details

Model Description

This model is designed to classify news articles from the Daily Mirror Online, a Sri Lankan news source, into five categories: Business, Opinion, Political Gossip, Sports, and World News. And this model is developed to analyze and process news content for tasks such as sentiment analysis, or summarization

Data Sources [optional]

The original dataset contained real news content of Daily Mirror , after preprocessing, 1,015 records were selected for training.The data split as %80 train and %20 validation.

Uses

Direct Use

The model can be used for:

Automatic categorization of Sri Lankan news articles

News filtering and recommendation systems

Preliminary analysis of sentiment in news articles

Downstream Use [optional]

News aggregation platforms can use the model to categorize and sort articles.

Journalists and researchers can analyze media trends based on category distributions.

Out-of-Scope Use

This model should not be used for critical decision-making tasks such as political analysis, stock market predictions, or legal judgments.

It may not generalize well to non-Sri Lankan news sources.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The dataset is limited to Daily Mirror Online, which may introduce biases in classification.

The model might misclassify articles if they contain mixed topics.

The dataset size is small (1,015 articles), which may impact performance on diverse news sources.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

new_model = "Imasha17/News_classification.4"

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-classification", model="Imasha17/News_classification.4")
text="Enter your news here"
pipe (text)
