# A-PROOF ICF-domains Classification

## Description

A fine-tuned multi-label classification model that detects 17 [WHO-ICF](https://www.who.int/standards/classifications/international-classification-of-functioning-disability-and-health) domains in clinical text in Dutch. 
The model is based on a pre-trained Dutch medical language model ([link to be added]()), a RoBERTa model, trained from scratch on clinical notes of the Amsterdam UMC.

## ICF domains
The model can detect 17 categories, which were chosen due to their relevance to recovery from COVID-19:


ICF code | Domain | name in repo
---|---|---
b1300 | Energy level | ENR
b140 | Attention functions | ATT
b152 | Emotional functions | STM
b440 | Respiration functions | ADM
b455 | Exercise tolerance functions | INS
b530 | Weight maintenance functions | MBW
d450 | Walking | FAC
d550 | Eating | ETN
d840-d859 | Work and employment | BER
B280 | Sensations of pain | SOP
B134 | Sleep functions | SLP
D760 | Family relationships | FML
B164 | Higher-level cognitive functions | HLC
D465 | Moving around using equipment | MAE
D410 | Changing basic body position | CBP
B230 | Hearing functions | HRN
D240 | Handling stress and other psychological demands | HSP


## Intended uses and limitations
- The model was fine-tuned (trained, validated and tested) on medical records from the Amsterdam UMC (the two academic medical centers of Amsterdam). It might perform differently on text from a different hospital or text from non-hospital sources (e.g. GP records).
- The model was fine-tuned with the [Simple Transformers](https://simpletransformers.ai/) library. This library is based on Transformers but the model cannot be used directly with Transformers `pipeline` and classes; doing so would generate incorrect outputs. For this reason, the API on this page is disabled.

## How to use
To generate predictions with the model, use the [Simple Transformers](https://simpletransformers.ai/) library:
```
from simpletransformers.classification import MultiLabelClassificationModel

model = MultiLabelClassificationModel(
    'roberta',
    'CLTL/icf-domains',
    use_cuda=False,
)

example = 'Nu sinds 5-6 dagen progressieve benauwdheidsklachten (bij korte stukken lopen al kortademig), terwijl dit eerder niet zo was.'
predictions, raw_outputs = model.predict([example])
```
The predictions look like this:
```
[[0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]
```
The indices of the multi-label stand for:
```
[ENR-B1300, ATT-B140, STM-B152, ADM-B440, INS-B455, MBW-B530, FAC-D540, ETN-D550, BER-D840-D859, SOP-B280, SLP-B134, FML-D760, HLC-B164, MAE-D465, CBP-D410, HRN-B230, HSP-D240]
```
In other words, the above prediction corresponds to assigning the labels ADM, FAC and INS to the example sentence.

The raw outputs look like this:
```
[[0.51907885 0.00268032 0.0030862  0.03066113 0.00616694 0.64720929
  0.67348498 0.0118863  0.0046311 ]]
```
For this model, the threshold at which the prediction for a label flips from 0 to 1 is **0.5**.

## Training data
- The training data consists of clinical notes from medical records (in Dutch) of the Amsterdam UMC. Due to privacy constraints, the data cannot be released.
- The annotation guidelines used for the project can be found [here](https://github.com/cltl/a-proof-zonmw/tree/main/resources/annotation_guidelines).

## Training procedure
The default training parameters of Simple Transformers were used, including:
- Optimizer: AdamW
- Learning rate: 4e-5
- Num train epochs: 1
- Train batch size: 8
- Threshold: 0.5
