## Dataset Summary

- **Models:** https://huggingface.co/SALT-NLP/FLANG-BERT
- **Repository:** https://github.com/SALT-NLP/FLANG

## FLANG
FLANG is a set of large language models for Financial LANGuage tasks. These models use domain specific pre-training with preferential masking to build more robust representations for the domain. The models in the set are:\
[FLANG-BERT](https://huggingface.co/SALT-NLP/FLANG-BERT)\
[FLANG-SpanBERT](https://huggingface.co/SALT-NLP/FLANG-SpanBERT)\
[FLANG-DistilBERT](https://huggingface.co/SALT-NLP/FLANG-DistilBERT)\
[FLANG-Roberta](https://huggingface.co/SALT-NLP/FLANG-Roberta)\
[FLANG-ELECTRA](https://huggingface.co/SALT-NLP/FLANG-ELECTRA)

## FLANG-ELECTRA
FLANG-ELECTRA is a pre-trained language model which uses financial keywords and phrases for preferential masking of domain specific terms. It is built by further training the ELECTRA language model in the finance domain with improved performance over previous models due to the use of domain knowledge and vocabulary.

## FLUE
FLUE (Financial Language Understanding Evaluation) is a comprehensive and heterogeneous benchmark that has been built from 5 diverse financial domain specific datasets.
