# 🧠 Open Multi-Label ASJC Classification

We present the first **multi-label classification model** built on the ASJC taxonomy that reliably assigns subject categories to individual documents—including those published in general-science or interdisciplinary journals—using Title, Container Title, and Abstract metadata.

## 🎯 Purpose
Traditional ASJC classification approaches are limited by incomplete sources, journal-level labels, or single-label assignments. This project provides:  
- **Multi-label classification across 307 subjects** (compare [google sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kqmGk2x0msodbaKDYt2RixyyB3MqOGrWS2azRGNsodw) for all labels)   
- Fine-tuned **SciBERT model** trained on Crossref metadata  
- Methods for **collection-level analysis** (researcher portfolios, institutions, datasets)

## ✨ Features
- High performance 
- Works with or without source title metadata  
- Open, reproducible, and ready for research use

## 🗂 Content
- Fine-tuned model
- Sample code for model inference
