Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers for Biomedical Text Mining by Osaka University (ouBioBERT) is a language model based on the BERT-Base (Devlin, et al., 2019) architecture. We pre-trained ouBioBERT on PubMed abstracts from the PubMed baseline (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/baseline) via our method.
The details of the pre-training procedure can be found in Wada, et al. (2020).
## Evaluation
We evaluated the performance of ouBioBERT in terms of the biomedical language understanding evaluation (BLUE) benchmark (Peng, et al., 2019). The numbers are mean (standard deviation) on five different random seeds.
