# MediAlbertina
The first publicly available medical language models trained with real European Portuguese data.

MediAlbertina is a family of encoders from the Bert family, DeBERTaV2-based, resulting from the continuation of the pre-training of [PORTULAN's Albertina](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN) models with Electronic Medical Records shared by Portugal's largest public hospital.

Like its antecessors, MediAlbertina models are distributed under the [MIT license](https://huggingface.co/portugueseNLP/medialbertina_pt-pt_900m/blob/main/LICENSE).



# Model Description

MediAlbertina PT-PT 900M NER was created through fine-tuning of [MediAlbertina PT-PT 900M](https://huggingface.co/portugueseNLP/medialbertina_pt-pt_900m) on real European Portuguese EMRs that have been hand-annotated for the following entities:
- Diagnostico
- Sintoma
- Medicamento
- Dosagem
- ProcedimentoMedico
- SinalVital
- Resultado
- Progresso
  
MediAlbertina PT-PT 900M NER achieved superior results to the same adaptation made on a non-medical Portuguese language model, demonstrating the effectiveness of this domain adaptation, and its potential for medical AI in Portugal.

## Data

MediAlbertina PT-PT 900M NER was fine-tuned on more than 10k hand-annotated entities from more than a thousand fully anonymized medical sentences from Portugal's largest public hospital. This data was acquired under the framework of the [FCT project DSAIPA/AI/0122/2020 AIMHealth-Mobile Applications Based on Artificial Intelligence](https://ciencia.iscte-iul.pt/projects/aplicacoes-moveis-baseadas-em-inteligencia-artificial-para-resposta-de-saude-publica/1567).


## How to use

```Python
from transformers import pipeline

ner_pipeline = pipeline('ner', model='portugueseNLP/medialbertina_pt-pt_900m_NER', aggregation_strategy='average')
sentence = 'Durante o procedimento endoscópico, foram encontrados pólipos no cólon do paciente.'
entities = ner_pipeline(sentence)
for entity in entities:
  print(f"{entity['entity_group']} - {sentence[entity['start']:entity['end']]}")
```

MediAlbertina is developed by a joint team from [ISCTE-IUL](https://www.iscte-iul.pt/), Portugal, and [Select Data](https://selectdata.com/), CA USA. For a fully detailed description, check the respective publication:
