# sd-ner

## Model description

This model is a [RoBERTa base model](https://huggingface.co/roberta-base) that was further trained using a masked language modeling task on a compendium of English scientific textual examples from the life sciences using the [BioLang dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EMBO/biolang). It was then fine-tuned for token classification on the SourceData [sd-nlp](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EMBO/sd-nlp) dataset with the `NER` configuration to perform Named Entity Recognition of bioentities. 


## Intended uses & limitations

#### How to use

The intended use of this model is for Named Entity Recognition of biological entities used in SourceData annotations (https://sourcedata.embo.org), including small molecules, gene products (genes and proteins), subcellular components, cell line and cell types, organ and tissues, species as well as experimental methods.

To have a quick check of the model:

```python
from transformers import pipeline, RobertaTokenizerFast, RobertaForTokenClassification
example = """<s> F. Western blot of input and eluates of Upf1 domains purification in a Nmd4-HA strain. The band with the # might corresponds to a dimer of Upf1-CH, bands marked with a star correspond to residual signal with the anti-HA antibodies (Nmd4). Fragments in the eluate have a smaller size because the protein A part of the tag was removed by digestion with the TEV protease. G6PDH served as a loading control in the input samples </s>"""
tokenizer = RobertaTokenizerFast.from_pretrained('roberta-base', max_len=512)
model = RobertaForTokenClassification.from_pretrained('EMBO/sd-ner')
ner = pipeline('ner', model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
res = ner(example)
for r in res:
    print(r['word'], r['entity'])
```

#### Limitations and bias

The model must be used with the `roberta-base` tokenizer.

## Training data

The model was trained for token classification using the [EMBO/sd-nlp `NER`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EMBO/sd-nlp) dataset wich includes manually annotated examples.

## Training procedure

The training was run on a NVIDIA DGX Station with 4XTesla V100 GPUs.
