📊 Performance

📚 Training Data

• Dataset: NCBI Disease
• Size: 6,800+ annotated mentions from 793 PubMed abstracts

🛠️ How to Use

from transformers import pipeline

nlp = pipeline(
    "ner",
    model="Ishan0612/biobert-ner-disease-ncbi",
    tokenizer="Ishan0612/biobert-ner-disease-ncbi",
    aggregation_strategy="simple"
)

text = "The patient has signs of diabetes mellitus and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease."
results = nlp(text)

for entity in results:
    print(f"{entity['word']} - ({entity['entity_group']})")

This should output:

Extracted Medical Entities:

the patient has signs of - (LABEL_0)

diabetes - (LABEL_1)

mellitus - (LABEL_2)

and - (LABEL_0)

chronic - (LABEL_1)

obstructive pulmonary disease - (LABEL_2)

. - (LABEL_0)
