+ # Model Card for Raidium MQG model
12
+
13
+
14
+ The model is introduced in the paper "Efficient Medical Question Answering with Knowledge-Augmented Question Generation".

+
16
+ Paper: [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14654](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14654)
17

18
+ 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
19
+ [BioMedLM](https://huggingface.co/stanford-crfm/BioMedLM), then further pre-trained on those datasets.
20
+
21
+ The questions have been generated from prompt containing medical data from the textbooks.
22
+ They are available here: [ECNQA_generated_questions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/raidium/ECNQA_generated_questions).
23
+
24
+ MQG is designed to be fine-tuned for Medical Question Answering tasks.

+
32
+ In the expanding field of language model applications, medical knowledge representation remains a significant challenge due to the specialized nature of the domain.
33
+ Large language models, such as GPT-4, obtain reasonable scores on medical question answering tasks, but smaller models are far behind.
34
+ 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.
35
+ 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.
36
+ We show the benefits of our training strategy on a medical answering question dataset.
37
+ The study's findings highlight the potential of small language models in the medical domain when appropriately fine-tuned.

52
+ ## Uses
53
+
54
+ ### Direct Use
55
+
56
+ MQG is trained using next-token-prediction on generated questions.
57
+ Therefore, it can be used out-of-the-box to generate potential answers for medical question answering tasks.
58
+ 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.
59
+
60
+ ### Downstream Use
61
+
62
+ MQG can be fine-tuned for Medical Question Answering tasks.
63
+ For multiple choice questions, a classification head should be appended at the end of the model, to rank different proposed answers.
64
+
65
+ ### Out-of-Scope Use
66
+
67
+ This model should not be used for datasets outside medical tasks.
68
+
69
+ ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
70
+
71
+ There is no guarantee that the model answers medical questions correctly. It should only be used for academic purposes, and not in clinical care.
72
+
73
+ ## Training Details
74
+
75
+ ### Training Data
76
+
77
+ 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).
78
+
79
+ ### Training Procedure
80
+
81
+ MGQ is trained using next-token-prediction on both datasets.
82
+
83
+ #### Training Hyperparameters
84
+
85
+ - **Training regime:** fp16 mixed-precision training. <!--fp32, fp16 mixed precision, bf16 mixed precision, bf16 non-mixed precision, fp16 non-mixed precision, fp8 mixed precision -->
86
+
87
+ ## Evaluation
88
+
89
+ ### Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
90
+
91
+ #### Testing Data
92
+
93
+ We tested the model on a medical question answering dataset, ECN-QA, based on the french medical residency examination.
94
+ It is composed of "single" and "progressive" questions (i.e a serie of multiple related questions).
95
+ It is a multiple-choice question dataset, containing 5 propositions for each question.
96
+
97
+ #### Metrics
98
+
99
+ We use the accuracy to evaluate the model on Medical Question Answering.
