SurgicBERTa
SurgicBERTa is a language model based on RoBERTa-base (Liu et al., 2019) architecture. We adapted RoBERTa-base to different surgical textbooks and academic papers via continued pretraining. This amount to about 7 million words and 300k surgical sentences. We used the full text of the books and papers in training, not just abstracts. Specific details of the adaptive pretraining procedure and evaluation tasks can be found in the paper below cited.
