# Model Card for Model ID

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This is an official model checkpoint for Asclepius-Llama3-8B [(arxiv)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.00237).
This model is an enhanced version of Asclepius-7B, by replacing the base model with Llama-3 and increasing the max sequence length to 8192.

## UPDATE
### 2024.01.10
- Asclepius-R, the variant of Asclepius that trained on MIMIC-III discharge summaries, is now available on [Physionet](https://physionet.org/content/asclepius-r/1.0.0/)!

## How to Get Started with the Model

```python
prompt = """You are an intelligent clinical languge model.
Below is a snippet of patient's discharge summary and a following instruction from healthcare professional.
Write a response that appropriately completes the instruction.
The response should provide the accurate answer to the instruction, while being concise.

[Discharge Summary Begin]
{note}
[Discharge Summary End]

[Instruction Begin]
{question}
[Instruction End] 
"""

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("starmpcc/Asclepius-Llama3-8B", use_fast=False)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("starmpcc/Asclepius-Llama3-8B")

note = "This is a sample note"
question = "What is the diagnosis?"

model_input = prompt.format(note=note, question=question)
input_ids = tokenizer(model_input, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
output = model.generate(input_ids)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))
```

## Training Details

### Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Data Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

https://huggingface.co/datasets/starmpcc/Asclepius-Synthetic-Clinical-Notes

### Training Procedure 

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->
- Initial training was conducted using causal language modeling on synthetic clinical notes.
- It was then fine-tuned with clinical instruction-response pairs.
- For a comprehensive overview of our methods, our upcoming paper will serve as a resource.

#### Training Hyperparameters

- We followed config used in [Stanford Alpaca](https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca)
- 
#### Speeds, Sizes, Times

<!-- This section provides information about throughput, start/end time, checkpoint size if relevant, etc. -->
- Pre-Training (1 epoch): 2h 59m with 4x A100 80G
- Instruction Fine-Tuning (3 epoch): 30h 41m with 4x A100 80G
