CultureBERT: Fine-Tuning Transformer-Based Language Models for Corporate Culture
This paper introduces supervised machine learning to the literature measuring corporate culture from text documents. We compile a unique data set of employee reviews that were labeled by human evaluators with respect to the information the reviews reveal about the firms' corporate culture. Using this data set, we fine-tune state-of-the-art transformer-based language models to perform the same classification task. In out-of-sample predictions, our language models classify 16 to 28 percent points more of employee reviews in line with human evaluators than traditional approaches of text classification.
