# 🇵🇹 BERTimbau fine-tuned on ClaimPT (Claim Extraction) |
|
|
|
|
|
This model is a fine-tuned version of **[neuralmind/bert-base-portuguese-cased](https://huggingface.co/neuralmind/bert-base-portuguese-cased)** on the **ClaimPT** dataset for **claim and non-claim detection** in Portuguese news articles. |
|
|
It classifies each token as part of a *Claim* or *Non-Claim* span, following the guidelines described below. For more information visit our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/LIAAD/ClaimPT) |
