MedRoBERTa.nl finetuned for negation
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.
Intended use
The model is finetuned for negation 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.
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), and can be obtained through Jan Kors ([email protected]). The EDCC is described here: https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-014-0373-3
