# French Healthcare NER Model (Educational Version)

This Hugging Face Space provides a live demonstration of the model developed as part of the healthcare NLP case study featured throughout my book *[Natural Language Processing on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: Building Transformer-Based NLP Solutions Using Oracle AI and Hugging Face](https://a.co/d/h0xL4lo).* Dive into Chapter 6 for a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on building this model.

## 📚 Purpose and Scope

This Hugging Face Space showcases the model built step-by-step in Chapters 4 to 7 of the book, covering everything from healthcare dataset creation to fine-tuning a transformer-based NER model. It provides a practical example of how NLP can be applied in healthcare to extract insights from French medical texts.

Why Explore This Demo?  
- **Experiment with the Model**: Interact with the healthcare NLP model from the book without the need to train one from scratch.  
- **Discover What You Can Build**: Get a hands-on preview of the process detailed in the book, from healthcare dataset preparation to fine-tuning a pre-trained transformer-based NER model.  

## ⚠️ Usage Restrictions

This is a demo provided for educational purposes. The Model behind was trained on a limited dataset and is not intended for production use, clinical decision-making, or real-world medical applications.

- Educational and research purposes only
- Not licensed for commercial deployment
- Not for production use
- Not for medical decisions

## 🎓 Book Reference

This model is built as described in Chapter 6 of the book *Natural Language Processing on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure*. The book covers the entire NLP solution lifecycle—including data preparation, model fine-tuning, deployment, and monitoring. Chapter 6 specifically focuses on:

- Fine-tuning a pretrained model from Hugging Face Hub for healthcare Named Entity Recognition (NER)  
- Training the model using OCI’s Data Science service and Hugging Face Transformers libraries 
- Performance evaluation and best practices for robust and cost-effective NLP models
