CardioLlama.nl_clinical

Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct, with domain adapted pretraining (DAPT), also called Continuous Pre-training (CPT) on a Dutch medical corpus, slightly biased towards cardiology.

Training for one full epoch on the Dutch medical corpus, with a 256 batch size, maximally 768 sequence length and a linear-cosine schedule. This model is then further pre-trained on 5 million cardiology records from the UMCU mixed with a random selection of the Dutch medical corpus to avoid model collapse, trained on 1024 maximal sequence length and linear decay with warmup, for about 1 epoch.

The perplexity was around 4 on the validation set.
