BlueBert-Base, Uncased, PubMed
Model description
A BERT model pre-trained on PubMed abstracts.
Intended uses & limitations
How to use
Please see https://github.com/ncbi-nlp/bluebert
Training data
We provide preprocessed PubMed texts that were used to pre-train the BlueBERT models. The corpus contains ~4000M words extracted from the PubMed ASCII code version.
Pre-trained model: https://huggingface.co./bert-large-uncased
Training procedure
- lowercasing the text
- removing speical chars
\x00-\x7F - tokenizing the text using the NLTK Treebank tokenizer
Below is a code snippet for more details.
value = value.lower()
value = re.sub(r'[\r\n]+', ' ', value)
value = re.sub(r'[^\x00-\x7F]+', ' ', value)
tokenized = TreebankWordTokenizer().tokenize(value)
sentence = ' '.join(tokenized)
sentence = re.sub(r"\s's\b", "'s", sentence)
