Intended uses & limitations

The model can be used for NLI tasks related to biomedical data and even be adapted to fact-checking tasks. It can be used from the Huggingface pipeline method as follows:

from transformers import TextClassificationPipeline, AutoModel, AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("pritamdeka/PubMedBERT-MNLI-MedNLI", num_labels=3, id2label = {1: 'entailment', 0: 'contradiction',2:'neutral'})
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("pritamdeka/PubMedBERT-MNLI-MedNLI")
pipe = TextClassificationPipeline(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, return_all_scores=True, device=0, batch_size=128)

pipe(['ALDH1 expression is associated with better breast cancer outcomes',
      'In a series of 577 breast carcinomas, expression of ALDH1 detected by immunostaining correlated with poor prognosis.'])

The output for the above will be:

[[{'label': 'contradiction', 'score': 0.10193759202957153},
  {'label': 'entailment', 'score': 0.2933262586593628},
  {'label': 'neutral', 'score': 0.6047361493110657}],
 [{'label': 'contradiction', 'score': 0.21726925671100616},
  {'label': 'entailment', 'score': 0.24485822021961212},
  {'label': 'neutral', 'score': 0.5378724932670593}]]

The most effective way to verify such claims is by using evidences obtained from reliable sources of medical knowledge, such as PubMed. Recent advances in the field of NLP have helped automate such fact-checking tasks. In this work, we propose a domain-specific BERT-based model using a transfer learning approach for the task of predicting the veracity of claim-evidence pairs for the verification of health-related facts. We also improvise on a method to combine multiple evidences retrieved for a single claim, taking into consideration conflicting evidences as well. We also show how our model can be exploited when labelled data is available and how back-translation can be used to augment data when there is data scarcity.",
