Bio_Clinical_ColBERT-finetuned

🏥 ColBERT: Medical Dense Retriever (Fine-tuned on Triplets)

This is a fine-tuned emilyalsentzer/Bio_ClinicalBERT model trained on medical question-answer triplets using the abhinand/MedEmbed-training-triplets-v1 dataset.

Dataset

• Source: abhinand/MedEmbed-training-triplets-v1
• Format: (query, positive passage, negative passage)
• Size: Subsampled to 1000 triplets for demonstration

Model Architecture

• Based on: ClinicalBERT (or similar encoder)
• Uses ColBERT's late interaction (MaxSim)
• Trained with triplet loss

Intended Use

Dense retrieval for:

• Medical Q&A
• Biomedical semantic search
• Clinical decision support

🧪 How to Use

Bio_Clinical_ColBERT-finetuned using RAGatouille

Bio_Clinical_ColBERT-finetuned operates using ColBERT + RAGatouille. To install it along with its dependencies, run:

pip install -U ragatouille

Using Bio_Clinical_ColBERT-finetuned Without an Index

For in-memory searching, simply:

1. Load the model
2. Encode documents
3. Search using search_encoded_documents()

from ragatouille import RAGPretrainedModel
RAG = RAGPretrainedModel.from_pretrained("shabawak/Bio_Clinical_ColBERT-finetuned")

RAG.encode(['document_1', 'document_2', ...])
RAG.search_encoded_documents(query="your search query")

• New encode() calls append to the existing collection.
• Clear stored docs with RAG.clear_encoded_docs().

Indexing Documents

ColBERT's late-interaction retrieval requires indexing first. This step is slow, but retrieval is fast.

from ragatouille import RAGPretrainedModel  

RAG = RAGPretrainedModel.from_pretrained("bclavie/JaColBERT")  
documents = ['document_1', 'document_2', ...]  # Your documents  
RAG.index(name="My_first_index", collection=documents)  

• Index files are saved in .ragatouille/colbert/indexes/{index_name} by default.

Searching an Index

After indexing, querying is straightforward. If reopening a session, load the index first:

RAG = RAGPretrainedModel.from_index(".ragatouille/colbert/indexes/My_first_index")  
results = RAG.search(query="What is the expected outcome for a patient diagnosed with D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria type I?",k=5)

• The results include content, relevance scores, rankings, and metadata (if provided).
