## Model Description
`distilbert-clinical-ner` is a fine-tuned DistilBERT model for **biomedical and clinical NER tasks**.
It is trained to identify and classify entities such as **diseases, medications, lab values, procedures, and other biomedical concepts** in text.
This model is intended for **research and learning purposes**
---
## Intended Use
- Extract biomedical entities from clinical notes, research papers, or other health-related texts.
- Educational purposes: experiment with NER pipelines, token classification, and fine-tuning pre-trained transformers.
---
## Not Intended For
- Production-level clinical decision making.
- Use in real-world medical diagnosis or treatment recommendations.
---
## Metrics
The model was evaluated on a biomedical NER dataset (BioMedical NER, [your dataset reference]) using standard token-level metrics:
| Metric | Score |
|-----------|-------|
| Accuracy | 0.65 |
| Precision | 0.65 |
| Recall | 0.65 |
| F1-score | 0.65 |
> These metrics reflect experimental performance and are intended for learning and demonstration purposes.
