MedRoBERTa.nl finetuned for experiencer

Description

This model is a finetuned RoBERTa-based model pre-trained from scratch on Dutch hospital notes sourced from Electronic Health Records. All code used for the creation of MedRoBERTa.nl can be found at https://github.com/cltl-students/verkijk_stella_rma_thesis_dutch_medical_language_model . The publication associated with the negation detection task can be found at https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.00470 . The code for finetuning the model can be found at https://github.com/umcu/negation-detection .

Minimal example

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer\
             .from_pretrained("UMCU/MedRoBERTa.nl_Experiencer")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification\
            .from_pretrained("UMCU/MedRoBERTa.nl_Experiencer")

some_text = "De patient was niet aanspreekbaar en hij zag er grauw uit. \
Hij heeft de inspanningstest echter goed doorstaan. \
De broer heeft onlangs een operatie ondergaan."

inputs = tokenizer(some_text, return_tensors='pt')
output = model.forward(inputs)
probas = torch.nn.functional.softmax(output.logits[0]).detach().numpy()

#  associate with tokens
input_tokens = tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(inputs['input_ids'][0])
target_map = {0: 'B-Patient', 1:'B-Other',2:'I-Patient',3:'I-Other'}
results = [{'token': input_tokens[idx],
                 'proba_patient': proba_arr[0]+proba_arr[2],
                 'proba_other': proba_arr[1]+proba_arr[3]
                 }  
                 for idx,proba_arr in enumerate(probas)]

The medical entity classifiers are (being) integrated in the opensource library clinlp , feel free to contact us for access, either through Huggingface or through git.

It is perhaps good to note that we assume the Inside-Outside-Beginning format.

Intended use

The model is finetuned for experiencer detection on Dutch clinical text. Since it is a domain-specific model trained on medical data, it is meant to be used on medical NLP tasks for Dutch. This particular model is trained on a 64-max token windows surrounding the concept-to-be labeled.

Data

The pre-trained model was trained on nearly 10 million hospital notes from the Amsterdam University Medical Centres. The training data was anonymized before starting the pre-training procedure.

The finetuning was performed on the Erasmus Dutch Clinical Corpus (EDCC), which was synthetically upsampled for the minority classses. The EDCC can be obtained through Jan Kors ( [email protected] ). The EDCC is described here: https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-014-0373-3
