roberta-es-clinical-trials-ner

This medical named entity recognition model detects 4 types of semantic groups from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) (Bodenreider 2004):

ANAT: body parts and anatomy (e.g. garganta, 'throat')
CHEM: chemical entities and pharmacological substances (e.g. aspirina,'aspirin')
DISO: pathologic conditions (e.g. dolor, 'pain')
PROC: diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, laboratory analyses and medical research activities (e.g. cirugía, 'surgery')

The model achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

Loss: 0.1580
Precision: 0.8495
Recall: 0.8806
F1: 0.8647
Accuracy: 0.9583

Model description

This model adapts the pre-trained model bsc-bio-ehr-es, presented in Pio Carriño et al. (2022). It is fine-tuned to conduct medical named entity recognition on Spanish texts about clinical trials. The model is fine-tuned on the CT-EBM-SP corpus (Campillos-Llanos et al. 2021).

Intended uses & limitations

Disclosure: This model is under development and needs to be improved. It should not be used for medical decision making without human assistance and supervision

This model is intended for a generalist purpose, and may have bias and/or any other undesirable distortions.

Third parties who deploy or provide systems and/or services using any of these models (or using systems based on these models) should note that it is their responsibility to mitigate the risks arising from their use. Third parties, in any event, need to comply with applicable regulations, including regulations concerning the use of artificial intelligence.

The owner or creator of the models (CSIC – Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) will in no event be liable for any results arising from the use made by third parties of these models.

Descargo de responsabilidad: Esta herramienta se encuentra en desarrollo y no debe ser empleada para la toma de decisiones médicas

La finalidad de este modelo es generalista, y se advierte que puede tener sesgos y/u otro tipo de distorsiones indeseables.

Terceras partes que desplieguen o proporcionen sistemas y/o servicios usando alguno de estos modelos (o utilizando sistemas basados en estos modelos) han tener presente que es su responsabilidad abordar y minimizar los riesgos derivados de su uso. Las terceras partes, en cualquier circunstancia, deben cumplir con la normativa aplicable, incluyendo la normativa que concierne al uso de la inteligencia artificial.

El propietario o creador de los modelos (CSIC – Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) de ningún modo será responsable de los resultados derivados del uso que las terceras partes hagan de estos modelos.

Training and evaluation data

The data used for fine-tuning is the Clinical Trials for Evidence-Based-Medicine in Spanish corpus.

It is a collection of 1200 texts about clinical trials studies and clinical trials announcements:

500 abstracts from journals published under a Creative Commons license, e.g. available in PubMed or the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO)
700 clinical trials announcements published in the European Clinical Trials Register and Repositorio Español de Estudios Clínicos

Environmental Impact

Carbon emissions are estimated with the Machine Learning Impact calculator by Lacoste et al. (2019). The carbon impact is estimated by specifying the hardware, runtime, cloud provider, and compute region.

Hardware Type: 1 GPU 24 GB RTX 3090
Time used: 4' (0.07 hours)
Compute Region: Spain, Europe
Carbon Emitted (Power consumption x Time x Carbon produced based on location of power grid): 0.01 kg eq. CO2 (Carbon offset: 0)

Funding

This model was created with the annotated dataset from the NLPMedTerm project, funded by InterTalentum UAM, Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND grant (2019-2021) (H2020 program, contract number 713366) and by the Computational Linguistics Chair from the Knowledge Engineering Institute (IIC-UAM).
