+# Model Card for Raidium MQG model
+
+
+The model is introduced in the paper "Efficient Medical Question Answering with Knowledge-Augmented Question Generation".
+
+Paper: [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14654](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14654)
+
+MQG is is a transformer language model pre-trained on a series of medical textbooks, and medical questions generated by GPT-4. The weights are initialized with 
+[BioMedLM](https://huggingface.co/stanford-crfm/BioMedLM), then further pre-trained on those datasets.
+
+The questions have been generated from prompt containing medical data from the textbooks. 
+They are available here: [ECNQA_generated_questions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/raidium/ECNQA_generated_questions).
+
+MQG is designed to be fine-tuned for Medical Question Answering tasks.

+
+In the expanding field of language model applications, medical knowledge representation remains a significant challenge due to the specialized nature of the domain. 
+Large language models, such as GPT-4, obtain reasonable scores on medical question answering tasks, but smaller models are far behind. 
+In this work, we introduce a method to improve the proficiency of a small language model in the medical domain by employing a two-fold approach. 
+We first fine-tune the model on a corpus of medical textbooks. Then, we use GPT-4 to generate questions similar to the downstream task, prompted with textbook knowledge, and use them to fine-tune the model. 
+We show the benefits of our training strategy on a medical answering question dataset.
+The study's findings highlight the potential of small language models in the medical domain when appropriately fine-tuned.

+## Uses
+
+### Direct Use
+
+MQG is trained using next-token-prediction on generated questions. 
+Therefore, it can be used out-of-the-box to generate potential answers for medical question answering tasks.
+However, the generated questions might contain some errors, so it is advised to fine-tune the model on your dataset, and use the models to rank the potential answers.
+
+### Downstream Use
+
+MQG can be fine-tuned for Medical Question Answering tasks. 
+For multiple choice questions, a classification head should be appended at the end of the model, to rank different proposed answers.
+
+### Out-of-Scope Use
+
+This model should not be used for datasets outside medical tasks.
+
+## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
+
+There is no guarantee that the model answers medical questions correctly. It should only be used for academic purposes, and not in clinical care.
+
+## Training Details
+
+### Training Data
+
+The model is trained on a corpus of medical textbooks, and further pre-trained on generated questions:  [ECNQA_generated_questions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/raidium/ECNQA_generated_questions).
+
+### Training Procedure
+
+MGQ is trained using next-token-prediction on both datasets.
+
+#### Training Hyperparameters
+
+- **Training regime:**  fp16 mixed-precision training. <!--fp32, fp16 mixed precision, bf16 mixed precision, bf16 non-mixed precision, fp16 non-mixed precision, fp8 mixed precision -->
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
+
+#### Testing Data
+
+We tested the model on a medical question answering dataset, ECN-QA, based on the french medical residency examination. 
+It is composed of "single" and "progressive" questions (i.e a serie of multiple related questions).
+It is a multiple-choice question dataset, containing 5 propositions for each question.
+
+#### Metrics
+
+We use the accuracy to evaluate the model on Medical Question Answering.
+
+### Results
+
+See paper: [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14654](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14654)
+
