Intended use

Classify sentences from central-bank speeches, press releases, and financial-stability reports along the four CBC taxonomy dimensions (topic, temporal orientation, audience, sentiment). Produced for research and policy analysis at the IMF.

Limitations

• Trained on a small labeled set; tail classes (low support) carry less reliable per-class metrics.
• Multilingual coverage depends on the encoder; bge-m3 is competent in the official UN languages but performance varies.
• Sentiment / temporal labels reflect the taxonomy decision rules in the source workbook; downstream consumers should re-read those rules before interpreting per-class deltas.

How to load

# Recommended (canonical port — Phase 1.1, 2026-04):
from cb_communication.processing.classification import load_named_classifier

# Auto-resolves the artefact via config/classifiers.toml. When the
# artefact is absent locally and ``hub_repo`` is configured, the loader
# pulls from this Hub repo automatically (private collaborators set
# their own ``HF_TOKEN``).
with load_named_classifier("cbcc") as clf:
    results = clf.classify_chunk([
        "Inflation expectations remain anchored at 2 percent.",
    ])

Alternative — explicit path-based load:

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
from cb_communication.processing.classification import load_classifier

local = snapshot_download(repo_id="thiagochris/cbcc")
with load_classifier(local) as clf:
    ...

Both call paths satisfy the canonical MultiTaskClassifier Protocol (see cb_communication/processing/classification/multi_task_classifier.py) — the runtime dispatches on model_kind from manifest.json.
