What is RaTE-NER-Deberta?
RaTE-NER-Deberta is a specialized named entity recognition model fine-tuned on the RaTE-NER dataset for medical radiology reports. The model is designed to extract five critical entity types: Abnormality, Non-Abnormality, Anatomy, Disease, and Non-Disease from medical texts. It serves as a crucial component in the RaTEScore metric pipeline for evaluating radiology report generation.
Implementation Details
The model implements a token classification architecture based on DeBERTa, utilizing a comprehensive labeling scheme with B-I-O tagging for each entity type. It processes text at the sentence level and includes sophisticated post-processing logic to accurately identify entity spans.
- Supports multiple entity type recognition simultaneously
- Implements B-I-O tagging scheme for precise entity boundary detection
- Processes texts with maximum sequence length of 512 tokens
- Includes GPU acceleration support
Core Capabilities
- Accurate identification of medical abnormalities and conditions
- Precise anatomical structure recognition
- Disease and non-disease entity extraction
- Batch processing support for multiple sentences
- Efficient token-to-string conversion for entity visualization
Frequently Asked Questions
