# VetBERT Disease Syndrome Classifier |
|
|
|
This is a finetuned version of the VetBERT model, designed to classify the disease syndrome within a veterinary clinical note. |
|
|
|
<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. --> |
|
This pretrained model is designed for performing NLP tasks related to veterinary clinical notes. The [Domain Adaptation and Instance Selection for Disease Syndrome Classification over Veterinary Clinical Notes](https://aclanthology.org/2020.bionlp-1.17) (Hur et al., BioNLP 2020) paper introduced VetBERT model: an initialized Bert Model with ClinicalBERT (Bio+Clinical BERT) and further pretrained on the [VetCompass Australia](https://www.vetcompass.com.au/) corpus for performing tasks specific to veterinary medicine. |
|
|
|
## Pretraining Data |
|
|
|
The VetBERT model was initialized from [Bio_ClinicalBERT model](https://huggingface.co/emilyalsentzer/Bio_ClinicalBERT), which was initialized from BERT. The VetBERT model was trained on over 15 million veterinary clincal Records and 1.3 Billion tokens. |
|
|
|
## Pretraining Hyperparameters |
|
|
|
During the pretraining phase for VetBERT, we used a batch size of 32, a maximum sequence length of 512, and a learning rate of 5 · 10−5. The dup factor for duplicating input data with different masks was set to 5. All other default parameters were used (specifically, masked language model probability = 0.15 and max predictions per sequence = 20). |
|
|
|
## VetBERT Finetuning |
|
|
|
VetBERT was further finetuned on a set of 5002 annotated clinical notes to classifiy the disease syndrome associated with the clinical notes as outlined in the paper: [Domain Adaptation and Instance Selection for Disease Syndrome Classification over Veterinary Clinical Notes](https://aclanthology.org/2020.bionlp-1.17) |
|
|
|
## How to use the model |
|
|
|
Load the model via the transformers library: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel |
|
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("havocy28/VetBERTDx") |
|
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("havocy28/VetBERTDx") |
|
``` |
