# Chart Recognizer

chart-recognizer is a finetuned model for classifying images. It uses efficientnet as its base model, making it a fast and small model.
This model is trained on my own dataset of financial charts posted on Twitter, which can be found here [StephanAkkerman/fintwit-charts](https://huggingface.co/datasets/StephanAkkerman/fintwit-charts).

## Intended Uses

chart-recognizer is intended for classifying images, mainly images posted on social media.

## Dataset

chart-recognizer has been trained on my own dataset. So far I have not been able to find another image dataset about financial charts.
- [StephanAkkerman/fintwit-charts](https://huggingface.co/datasets/StephanAkkerman/fintwit-charts): 1,978 images.

## More Information

For a comprehensive overview, including the training setup and analysis of the model, visit the [chart-recognizer GitHub repository](https://github.com/StephanAkkerman/chart-recognizer).

## Usage

Using [HuggingFace's transformers library](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/index) the model can be converted into a pipeline for image classification.

```python
from transformers import pipeline

# Create a sentiment analysis pipeline
pipe = pipeline(
    "image-classification",
    model="StephanAkkerman/chart-recognizer",
)

# Get the predicted sentiment
print(pipe(image))
```
