Papers with BlueBERT
Re-train or Train from Scratch? Comparing Pre-training Strategies of BERT in the Medical Domain (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent years have witnessed the widespread use of transfer learning techniques in Natural Language Processing (NLP) |
| Approach: | They train BERT models from scratch using many configurations involving general and medical corpora. |
| Outcome: | The initial corpus only has a weak influence when these are further pre-trained on a medical corpus. |
Infusing Disease Knowledge into BERT for Health Question Answering, Medical Inference and Disease Name Recognition (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to augment pre-trained language models with disease knowledge are lacking. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to augment BERT-like pre-trained language models with disease knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on a suite of BERT models over three tasks. |
