📊 Dataset

BC4CHEMD is a biomedical NER corpus for chemical entity recognition from the BioCreative IV challenge.

The BC4CHEMD (BioCreative IV Chemical Entity Mention) corpus is a manually annotated dataset designed for chemical entity recognition in biomedical literature. Created for the BioCreative IV challenge, this corpus contains abstracts from PubMed with chemical entities annotated according to Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) guidelines. The dataset is specifically designed to advance automated chemical name recognition systems for drug discovery, pharmacology, and chemical biology applications. It serves as a benchmark for evaluating named entity recognition models in identifying chemical compounds, drugs, and other chemical substances mentioned in scientific literature.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install transformers torch

Usage

python

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the model and tokenizer
# Model: https://huggingface.co/OpenMed/OpenMed-NER-ChemicalDetect-EuroMed-212M
model_name = "OpenMed/OpenMed-NER-ChemicalDetect-EuroMed-212M"

# Create a pipeline
medical_ner_pipeline = pipeline(
    model=model_name,
    aggregation_strategy="simple"
)

# Example usage
text = "The patient was administered acetylsalicylic acid for pain relief."
entities = medical_ner_pipeline(text)

print(entities)

token = entities[0]
print(text[token["start"] : token["end"]])

NOTE: The aggregation_strategy parameter defines how token predictions are grouped into entities. For a detailed explanation, please refer to the Hugging Face documentation.

Here is a summary of the available strategies:

none: Returns raw token predictions without any aggregation.
simple: Groups adjacent tokens with the same entity type (e.g., B-LOC followed by I-LOC).
first: For word-based models, if tokens within a word have different entity tags, the tag of the first token is assigned to the entire word.
average: For word-based models, this strategy averages the scores of tokens within a word and applies the label with the highest resulting score.
max: For word-based models, the entity label from the token with the highest score within a word is assigned to the entire word.

Batch Processing

For efficient processing of large datasets, use proper batching with the batch_size parameter:

python

texts = [
    "The patient was administered acetylsalicylic acid for pain relief.",
    "Treatment with doxorubicin showed significant improvement in tumor regression.",
    "The compound benzylpenicillin demonstrated strong antimicrobial activity.",
    "Further studies are needed to understand the effects of methotrexate on rheumatoid arthritis.",
    "The synthesis of vancomycin remains a significant challenge in organic chemistry.",
]

# Efficient batch processing with optimized batch size
# Adjust batch_size based on your GPU memory (typically 8, 16, 32, or 64)
results = medical_ner_pipeline(texts, batch_size=8)

for i, entities in enumerate(results):
    print(f"Text {i+1} entities:")
    for entity in entities:
        print(f"  - {entity['word']} ({entity['entity_group']}): {entity['score']:.4f}")

Large Dataset Processing

For processing large datasets efficiently:

python

from transformers.pipelines.pt_utils import KeyDataset
from datasets import Dataset
import pandas as pd

# Load your data
# Load a medical dataset from Hugging Face
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load a public medical dataset (using a subset for testing)
medical_dataset = load_dataset("BI55/MedText", split="train[:100]")  # Load first 100 examples
data = pd.DataFrame({"text": medical_dataset["Completion"]})
dataset = Dataset.from_pandas(data)

# Process with optimal batching for your hardware
batch_size = 16  # Tune this based on your GPU memory
results = []

for out in medical_ner_pipeline(KeyDataset(dataset, "text"), batch_size=batch_size):
    results.extend(out)

print(f"Processed {len(results)} texts with batching")

Performance Optimization

Batch Size Guidelines:

CPU: Start with batch_size=1-4
Single GPU: Try batch_size=8-32 depending on GPU memory
High-end GPU: Can handle batch_size=64 or higher
Monitor GPU utilization to find the optimal batch size for your hardware

Memory Considerations:

python

# For limited GPU memory, use smaller batches
medical_ner_pipeline = pipeline(
    model=model_name,
    aggregation_strategy="simple",
    device=0  # Specify GPU device
)

# Process with memory-efficient batching
for batch_start in range(0, len(texts), batch_size):
    batch = texts[batch_start:batch_start + batch_size]
    batch_results = medical_ner_pipeline(batch, batch_size=len(batch))
    results.extend(batch_results)
