# Model Card for MedMT5-xl

<p align="justify">
We present Medical mT5, the first open-source text-to-text multilingual model for the medical domain. 
  Medical mT5 is an encoder-decoder model developed by continuing the training of publicly available mT5 checkpoints on 
  medical domain data for English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

## How to Get Started with the Model

You can load the model using

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("HiTZ/Medical-mT5-xl")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("HiTZ/Medical-mT5-xl")
```

The model has been trained using the T5 masked language modelling tasks. You need to finetune the model for your task.

## Ethical Statement
<p align="justify">
Our research in developing Medical mT5, a multilingual text-to-text model for the medical domain, has ethical implications that we acknowledge. 
  Firstly, the broader impact of this work lies in its potential to improve medical communication and understanding across languages, which 
  can enhance healthcare access and quality for diverse linguistic communities. However, it also raises ethical considerations related to privacy and data security.
  To create our multilingual corpus, we have taken measures to anonymize and protect sensitive patient information, adhering to 
  data protection regulations in each language's jurisdiction or deriving our data from sources that explicitly address this issue in line with 
  privacy and safety regulations and guidelines. Furthermore, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our model's development and evaluation. 
  We have worked to ensure that our benchmarks are representative and unbiased, and we will continue to monitor and address any potential biases in the future. 
  Finally, we emphasize our commitment to open source by making our data, code, and models publicly available, with the aim of promoting collaboration within 
  the research community.
