This is a fine-tuned RoBERTa-base model trained to identify whether historical MPs in the British Parliament were empirical scientists or came from a background of empirical science.

The training data were drawn from Wikipedia biographies of 19th century MPs. A batch size of 128 was used, and the learning rate was 8e-5.
