SapBERT trained on NCBI Disease

This is a Cross Encoder model finetuned from cambridgeltl/SapBERT-from-PubMedBERT-fulltext using the sentence-transformers library. It computes scores for pairs of texts, which can be used for text reranking and semantic search.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = CrossEncoder("cross_encoder_model_id")
# Get scores for pairs of texts
pairs = [
    ['deficiency of hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase', 'oligophrenia phenylpyruvica'],
    ['Complete hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT) deficiency', 'gout, hprt-related'],
    ['myotonia levior', 'gne myopathy'],
    ['ischemic heart disease', 'atheroscleroses, coronary'],
    ['Thomsens disease', 'myotonia, generalized'],
]
scores = model.predict(pairs)
print(scores.shape)
# (5,)

# Or rank different texts based on similarity to a single text
ranks = model.rank(
    'deficiency of hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase',
    [
        'oligophrenia phenylpyruvica',
        'gout, hprt-related',
        'gne myopathy',
        'atheroscleroses, coronary',
        'myotonia, generalized',
    ]
)
# [{'corpus_id': ..., 'score': ...}, {'corpus_id': ..., 'score': ...}, ...]
