Danish medical BERT

MeDa-BERT was initialized with weights from a pretrained Danish BERT model and pretrained for 48 epochs using the MLM objective on a Danish medical corpus of 123M tokens.

The development of the corpus and model is described further in this paper.

Here is an example on how to load the model in PyTorch using the 🤗Transformers library:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("indsigt-ai/MeDa-BERT")
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("indsigt-ai/MeDa-BERT")

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
