# Danish medical BERT
MeDa-BERT was initialized with weights from a [pretrained Danish BERT model](https://huggingface.co/Maltehb/danish-bert-botxo) 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](https://aclanthology.org/2023.nodalida-1.31/).
Here is an example on how to load the model in PyTorch using the [🤗Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) library:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("indsigt-ai/MeDa-BERT")
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("indsigt-ai/MeDa-BERT")
```
