SapBERT-PubMedBERT

SapBERT由 Liu et al. (2020) 进行训练。 使用2020AA（仅英文）的 UMLS 作为基础模型。

期望的输入和输出

输入应为生物医学实体名称的字符串，例如 "covid infection" 或 "Hydroxychloroquine"。将最后一层的[CLS]嵌入视为输出。

以下脚本将一列字符串（实体名称）转换为嵌入。

import numpy as np
import torch
from tqdm.auto import tqdm
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel  

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("cambridgeltl/SapBERT-from-PubMedBERT-fulltext")  
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("cambridgeltl/SapBERT-from-PubMedBERT-fulltext").cuda()

# replace with your own list of entity names
all_names = ["covid-19", "Coronavirus infection", "high fever", "Tumor of posterior wall of oropharynx"] 

bs = 128 # batch size during inference
all_embs = []
for i in tqdm(np.arange(0, len(all_names), bs)):
    toks = tokenizer.batch_encode_plus(all_names[i:i+bs], 
                                       padding="max_length", 
                                       max_length=25, 
                                       truncation=True,
                                       return_tensors="pt")
    toks_cuda = {}
    for k,v in toks.items():
        toks_cuda[k] = v.cuda()
    cls_rep = model(**toks_cuda)[0][:,0,:] # use CLS representation as the embedding
    all_embs.append(cls_rep.cpu().detach().numpy())

all_embs = np.concatenate(all_embs, axis=0)

    abstract = "Despite the widespread success of self-supervised learning via masked language models (MLM), accurately capturing fine-grained semantic relationships in the biomedical domain remains a challenge. This is of paramount importance for entity-level tasks such as entity linking where the ability to model entity relations (especially synonymy) is pivotal. To address this challenge, we propose SapBERT, a pretraining scheme that self-aligns the representation space of biomedical entities. We design a scalable metric learning framework that can leverage UMLS, a massive collection of biomedical ontologies with 4M+ concepts. In contrast with previous pipeline-based hybrid systems, SapBERT offers an elegant one-model-for-all solution to the problem of medical entity linking (MEL), achieving a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) on six MEL benchmarking datasets. In the scientific domain, we achieve SOTA even without task-specific supervision. With substantial improvement over various domain-specific pretrained MLMs such as BioBERT, SciBERTand and PubMedBERT, our pretraining scheme proves to be both effective and robust.",
