MedicalBERT提升医学文本理解,比通用BERT平均高5.67%。

MedicalBERT: enhancing biomedical natural language processing using pretrained BERT-based model

  • 基于大规模医学语料预训练,使用专有词汇表增强术语识别。
  • 在命名实体识别等任务上超越BioBERT、ClinicalBERT等模型。
  • 适合医疗NLP研究者和需要精准医学文本分析的团队。

近年来,预训练语言模型如BERT、RoBERTa、T5和GPT推动了自然语言处理的发展。这些模型擅长理解复杂文本,但医学文献中的专业术语带来了挑战,传统方法如Word2Vec和双向长短期记忆网络(Bi-LSTM)难以应对。GPT和T5虽能捕捉上下文,但在需要双向理解的任务中表现不足,而BERT则具备优势。为此,我们提出了MedicalBERT,一个在大型生物医学数据集上预训练的BERT模型,配备领域特定词汇表,以增强对医学术语的理解。MedicalBERT进一步优化并微调,用于命名实体识别、关系抽取、问答、句子相似性和文档分类等多种任务。通过F1分数、准确率和皮尔逊相关系数评估,结果显示,MedicalBERT在多数基准测试中优于BioBERT、SciBERT和ClinicalBERT等其他BERT模型,在所有评估任务上平均比通用BERT高出5.67%。本研究还强调了利用预训练BERT模型进行医疗NLP的潜力,证明了迁移学习在捕捉领域信息方面的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) have been driven bypretrained language models like BERT, RoBERTa, T5, and GPT. Thesemodels excel at understanding complex texts, but biomedical literature, withits domain-specific terminology, poses challenges that models likeWord2Vec and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) can't fullyaddress. GPT and T5, despite capturing context, fall short in tasks needingbidirectional understanding, unlike BERT. Addressing this, we proposedMedicalBERT, a pretrained BERT model trained on a large biomedicaldataset and equipped with domain-specific vocabulary that enhances thecomprehension of biomedical terminology. MedicalBERT model is furtheroptimized and fine-tuned to address diverse tasks, including named entityrecognition, relation extraction, question answering, sentence similarity, anddocument classification. Performance metrics such as the F1-score,accuracy, and Pearson correlation are employed to showcase the efficiencyof our model in comparison to other BERT-based models such as BioBERT,SciBERT, and ClinicalBERT. MedicalBERT outperforms these models onmost of the benchmarks, and surpasses the general-purpose BERT model by5.67% on average across all the tasks evaluated respectively. This work alsounderscores the potential of leveraging pretrained BERT models for medicalNLP tasks, demonstrating the effectiveness of transfer learning techniques incapturing domain-specific information.
