# CORe Model - BioBERT + Clinical Outcome Pre-Training

## Model description

The CORe (_Clinical Outcome Representations_) model is introduced in the paper [Clinical Outcome Predictions from Admission Notes using Self-Supervised Knowledge Integration](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2021.eacl-main.75.pdf).
It is based on BioBERT and further pre-trained on clinical notes, disease descriptions and medical articles with a specialised _Clinical Outcome Pre-Training_ objective.

#### How to use

You can load the model via the transformers library:
```
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bvanaken/CORe-clinical-outcome-biobert-v1")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("bvanaken/CORe-clinical-outcome-biobert-v1")
```
