# BERT Framing Classifier (Entman Multilabel) v1

This model is a multilabel classifier based on `bert-base-uncased`, fine-tuned to identify **framing functions** in news articles, inspired by Robert Entman's framing theory. The labels correspond to the four framing functions:

- **Define problems**
- **Diagnose causes**
- **Make moral judgments**
- **Suggest remedies**

## πŸ” Use Case

This model is designed for media studies researchers, journalists, or analysts studying **media framing**, **bias**, and **narrative patterns** in English-language news coverage.

It is especially useful for:
- News framing analysis in media studies.
- Detecting narrative intent in political discourse.
- Multilabel classification of complex textual claims.

Each label is treated as an independent binary classification task (multi-label classification).

## 🧠 Model Details

- Base model: `bert-base-uncased`
- Framework: πŸ€— Transformers with PyTorch
- Loss Function: `BCEWithLogitsLoss` with class weights
- Label imbalance handled using positive weights and stratified multi-label split

## πŸ“Š Metrics

Evaluated on a stratified test set using:

- Accuracy
- F1-score (macro)
- Precision (macro)
- Recall (macro)
- ROC-AUC per class

Thresholds for prediction were tuned per label for optimal F1-score.

### πŸ“Š Objective

This experiment aimed to optimize the performance of a BERT-based sequence classification model for framing analysis using the Optuna hyperparameter tuning framework. The goal was to maximize the macro F1-score, which is a balanced metric for multi-label classification involving class imbalance.

### βš™οΈ Hyperparameters Tuned

- `learning_rate`: float, explored between ~1e-5 to ~5e-5
- `weight_decay`: float, various values tested from ~0.02 to ~0.25
- `num_train_epochs`: integer, values tried between 2 and 4

## πŸ† Best Trial Summary

- **F1 Macro**: **0.8546**
- **Accuracy**: 0.5846
- **Precision Macro**: 0.8634
- **Recall Macro**: 0.8486
- **Best Hyperparameters**:
  - `learning_rate`: **4.62e-5**
  - `weight_decay`: **0.2275**
  - `num_train_epochs`: **4**

## πŸ“ˆ Best Trial Training Metrics

| Epoch | Training Loss | Validation Loss | Accuracy | F1 Macro | Precision Macro | Recall Macro |
|-------|----------------|------------------|----------|----------|------------------|----------------|
| 1     | 0.4155         | 0.4499           | 0.3466   | 0.6998   | 0.8443           | 0.6265         |

## πŸ“ Notes

- All models started from the `bert-base-uncased` checkpoint.
- Classification head weights were randomly initialized (`classifier.weight`, `classifier.bias`).
- Full training was conducted for each trial; early stopping was **not** used.

## πŸ§ͺ How to Use

```python
from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertForSequenceClassification
import torch

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
model = BertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("nurdyansa/bert-framing-entman-multilabel-v1")

label_cols = ["define_problem", "diagnose_cause", "moral_judgment", "suggest_remedy"]

def predict_framing(text, thresholds=None):
    model.eval()
    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, padding="max_length", max_length=128)
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        probs = torch.sigmoid(outputs.logits).squeeze()
        preds = (probs > torch.tensor(thresholds or [0.5]*4)).int().tolist()
    return {label_cols[i]: bool(preds[i]) for i in range(len(label_cols))}

# Example
text = "The government failed to address the root cause of the crisis."
print(predict_framing(text))
```

## πŸ”§ Configuration

```python
repo_name = "nurdyansa/bert-framing-entman-multilabel-v1"
