What is VetBERT?
VetBERT is a specialized BERT-based language model specifically designed for veterinary medicine applications. Initialized from Bio+Clinical BERT, this model has been extensively pretrained on over 15 million veterinary clinical records, encompassing 1.3 billion tokens. It represents a significant advancement in applying natural language processing to veterinary medicine.
Implementation Details
The model employs a sophisticated pretraining approach with carefully tuned hyperparameters: batch size of 32, maximum sequence length of 512, and a learning rate of 5×10^-5. The training process includes a dup factor of 5 for input data masking variations, with a masked language model probability of 0.15.
