  ## Vocabulary of Bioformer
13
  Bioformer uses a cased WordPiece vocabulary trained from a biomedical corpus, which included all PubMed abstracts (33 million, as of Feb 1, 2021) and 1 million PMC full-text articles. PMC has 3.6 million articles but we down-sampled them to 1 million such that the total size of PubMed abstracts and PMC full-text articles are approximately equal. To mitigate the out-of-vocabulary issue and include special symbols (e.g. male and female symbols) in biomedical literature, we trained Bioformer’s vocabulary from the Unicode text of the two resources. The vocabulary size of Bioformer is 32768 (2^15), which is similar to that of the original BERT.
