Request for information about models and annotation formats

Hi, I will appreciate if you share the links to download the models and data annotation format details.

MedaCy reads files in the BRAT format.

There's only one model online currently, namely clinical notes. However we do have other datasets available with different entity types. What types of entities did you want to be able to identify?

Hi Steele, Thank you for responding to my query. First Wishing you and your team a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year. We are trying to extract different types of entities and extract the relationship among them. Those entities include: Drug, dosage, duration of therapy, Frequency, and mode of administration; Diseases, signs and symptoms, conditions, etc Severity and grading information Affected part of the body Date and time information when the patient saw this condition, and when he / she was treated If the model helps us to extract at least one or two from the list it will be great. I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

Bala,

Thank you for the well wishes. I wish you and those close to you the same.

We have a dataset with most of the entity types you specified, however I am not sure that we have one that can identify severity and affected areas. A model trained upon it is given here, though the API for it was designed before we transitioned medaCy to a primarily command line application. This file is the actual model, and if you download it, you should be able to use it with medaCy's command line interface's predict functionality, using ClinicalPipeline as the pipeline option.

This particular model uses a conditional random field. We have had more success with BiLSTM and BERT models, though these have better performance when a GPU is available.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Steele
