This is an official model checkpoint for Asclepius-Llama3-8B (arxiv). This model is an enhanced version of Asclepius-7B, by replacing the base model with Llama-3 and increasing the max sequence length to 8192.

UPDATE

2024.01.10

Asclepius-R, the variant of Asclepius that trained on MIMIC-III discharge summaries, is now available on Physionet!

How to Get Started with the Model

python

prompt = """You are an intelligent clinical languge model.
Below is a snippet of patient's discharge summary and a following instruction from healthcare professional.
Write a response that appropriately completes the instruction.
The response should provide the accurate answer to the instruction, while being concise.

[Discharge Summary Begin]
{note}
[Discharge Summary End]

[Instruction Begin]
{question}
[Instruction End] 
"""

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("starmpcc/Asclepius-Llama3-8B", use_fast=False)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("starmpcc/Asclepius-Llama3-8B")

note = "This is a sample note"
question = "What is the diagnosis?"

model_input = prompt.format(note=note, question=question)
input_ids = tokenizer(model_input, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
output = model.generate(input_ids)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))

Training Procedure

Initial training was conducted using causal language modeling on synthetic clinical notes.
It was then fine-tuned with clinical instruction-response pairs.
For a comprehensive overview of our methods, our upcoming paper will serve as a resource.

Training Hyperparameters

We followed config used in Stanford Alpaca

Speeds, Sizes, Times

Pre-Training (1 epoch): 2h 59m with 4x A100 80G
Instruction Fine-Tuning (3 epoch): 30h 41m with 4x A100 80G
