# bert-paper-classifier

This model is a fine-tuned version of [microsoft/BiomedNLP-PubMedBERT-base-uncased-abstract](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/BiomedNLP-PubMedBERT-base-uncased-abstract) on the dataset from [González-Márquez et al., 2023](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.10.536208v1).

## Intended uses & limitations

This model is intended to predict the category given the paper title (and optionally its abstract) — for the biomedical papers. For example, it is likely to predict `virology` as a category for the paper with a title containing `COVID-19`.

So far only a subset of the PubMed dataset has been used for training. Future improvements to this model can come with using the full dataset with a combination of titles and abstracts for the fine-tuning as well as extending the training set to the preprints from bioRxiv and/or arXiv.

## Training procedure

The code for the model fine-tuning can be found [in the respective notebook](https://huggingface.co/oracat/bert-paper-classifier/blob/main/finetuning-pubmed.ipynb).
