How to Use

Training Details

Target modules: q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj, gate_proj, up_proj, down_proj

Evaluation Results

Evaluated on 10 medical benchmark questions:

Low BLEU/ROUGE is expected for generative medical assistants — the model paraphrases rather than copying reference text verbatim.

Sample Output

Q: What are the symptoms of Type 2 diabetes?

A: Type 2 diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar levels over time. Common symptoms include:

• Frequent urination (polyuria)
• Increased thirst (polydipsia)
• Fatigue and low energy
• Blurred vision
• Slow-healing wounds
• Numbness or tingling in hands and feet

If you experience these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis.

Limitations

• Trained on 5,000 samples (1 epoch) — a larger dataset and more epochs would improve accuracy
• Not validated by medical professionals — outputs may contain inaccuracies
• Should not be used for clinical decision-making
• Best suited for general health information queries
