DT4H_CardioBERTa_parents_sv_only_snomed

DT4H_CardioBERTa_parents_sv_only_snomed is a Swedish biomedical terminology encoder for clinical concept normalization and entity linking. It is initialized from [DT4H/CardioBERTa.sv] and specialized using CUI-supervised terminology pairs and metric learning.

Backbone

The backbone belongs to the CardioBERTa family from CardioLM - a multilingual suite of small language models for the cardiology domain. CardioBERTa comprises language-specific encoder models adapted to cardiology through continued pretraining on monolingual biomedical and cardiology-related corpora using Masked Language Modeling (MLM). The family covers Czech, Dutch, English, Italian, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish.

Training

CUI-supervised terminology pairs enriched with parent-level ontology relations.

Terminology statistics

This model uses 1,024,243 triplets, covering 398,217 CUIs and 389,241 unique normalized terms.

The training terminology is not distributed with this repository because it contains resources subject to UMLS licensing conditions. Only aggregate statistics are released.

Intended use

The model is intended for terminology embedding, biomedical candidate retrieval, concept normalization and entity linking, particularly in cardiology and clinical NLP pipelines. It is not intended for direct clinical decision-making.

Usage

import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "DT4H/DT4H_CardioBERTa_parents_sv_only_snomed"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(model_id)

inputs = tokenizer(
    "clinical concept",
    return_tensors="pt",
    truncation=True,
    max_length=25,
)

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model(**inputs)

embedding = F.normalize(
    output.last_hidden_state[:, 0, :],
    p=2,
    dim=1,
)
