Model description

A fine-tuned version of the bsc-bio-ehr-es model, a RoBERTa base model and has been pre-trained using the largest Spanish biomedical corpus known to date, composed of biomedical documents, clinical cases and EHR documents for a total of 1.1B tokens of clean and deduplicated text processed.

For more details about the corpora and training, check the bsc-bio-ehr-es model card.

Intended uses and limitations

How to use

Limitations and bias

At the time of submission, no measures have been taken to estimate the bias embedded in the model. However, we are well aware that our models may be biased since the corpora have been collected using crawling techniques on multiple web sources. We intend to conduct research in these areas in the future, and if completed, this model card will be updated.

Training

The dataset used is PharmaCoNER, a NER dataset annotated with substances, compounds and proteins entities. For further information, check the official website.

Evaluation

F1 Score: 0.8913

    abstract = "This work presents the first large-scale biomedical Spanish language models trained from scratch, using large biomedical corpora consisting of a total of 1.1B tokens and an EHR corpus of 95M tokens. We compared them against general-domain and other domain-specific models for Spanish on three clinical NER tasks. As main results, our models are superior across the NER tasks, rendering them more convenient for clinical NLP applications. Furthermore, our findings indicate that when enough data is available, pre-training from scratch is better than continual pre-training when tested on clinical tasks, raising an exciting research question about which approach is optimal. Our models and fine-tuning scripts are publicly available at HuggingFace and GitHub.",
