EvalLLM-GLiNER-Biomedical

Model Description

This model is a fine-tuned version of gliner-biomed-large-v1.0 specifically designed for French biomedical Named Entity Recognition (NER). It was developed as part of the EvalLLM 2025 challenge.

The model leverages GLiNER's zero-shot capabilities while being fine-tuned on synthetic biomedical data, making it highly effective for identifying 21 types of biomedical entities in French text.
