How to Use

You can easily use this model with the Hugging Face transformers library. Here's an example of how to load and use the model for inference:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification

model_name = "HUMADEX/greek_medical_ner"

# Load the tokenizer and model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Sample text for inference
text = "Ο ασθενής παραπονέθηκε για έντονους πονοκεφάλους και ναυτία που διαρκούσαν δύο ημέρες. Για την ανακούφιση των συμπτωμάτων, του χορηγήθηκε παρακεταμόλη και του συστήθηκε να ξεκουραστεί και να πίνει πολλά υγρά."

# Tokenize the input text
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
