Questions About finetuned-medical-bert

How much GPU memory does finetuned-medical-bert need?

About 0.3 GB at 16-bit and 0.1 GB at 4-bit: the weights (109M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run finetuned-medical-bert on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

What is finetuned-medical-bert's context length?

512 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

NeuML

This is a PubMedBERT-base model fined-tuned using sentence-transformers. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search. The training dataset was generated using a random sample of PubMed title-abstract pairs along with similar title pairs. PubMedBERT Embeddings produces higher quality embeddings than generalized models for medical literature. Further fine-tuning for a medical subdomain will result in even better performance. This model can be used to build embeddings databases with txtai for semantic search and/or as a knowledge source for retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Alternatively, the model can…

vandf-rxnorm-biencoder

Kevin Venanzi

Maps a VA National Drug File (VANDF) drug string to the RxNorm clinical drug confidence so you can auto-accept the sure cases and route the rest to review. Published tools such as RxMap normalize to the ingredient level (IN/MIN). This model targets the full clinical drug, where a miss on strength or dose form is a wrong answer. Method, hypotheses, the full sweep, and the error Mapper loads the encoder, trainconfig.json (input preprocessing), calibration.json (score → probability), and candidates.parquet (the 27,287 active RxNorm SCD/SBD names it searches) from this repo. The default acceptance threshold (0.92) was chosen on validation for 99% precision on a population that includes real…

vandf-rxnorm-biencoder-all

Kevin Venanzi

The recipe of kvenanzi/vandf-rxnorm-biencoder, trained on all 14,369 VA National Drug File (VANDF) strings that have a clinical drug in RxNorm, so that every ingredient family in the file is in training. It maps a VANDF drug string to the RxNorm clinical drug it names (SCD or SBD: ingredient, strength, and dose form), with a calibrated confidence for routing uncertain strings to review. This model has no test set of its own: every VA string was used for training. Its expected accuracy comes from seven-fold cross-validation of the recipe, and a comparison with the first model on strings neither model trained on (below).
