The Open-Source Revolution of AliBERT in French Biomedical AI

Developed by Quinten in 2022, AliBERT is a specialized model focusing on the French biomedical language. One version has been released as an open-source tool on the Huggingface platform, marking a significant contribution to the field of natural language processing (NLP) in healthcare.

AliBERT achieves it first successful application in oncology!

A successful proof-of-concept for AliBERT, the first French-language model specialized in the biomedical field. In partnership with a major French Cancer Fighting Institute, Quinten’s datalab team has developed a first concrete use case : the extraction of concepts and structured information from medical reports in oncology. A Natural Language Processing [NLP] task which, until now, has been highly complex, given the technical nature, diversity and specialization of these medical reports.

AliBERT: A pretrained Language Model for French Biomedical Text

Event : BioNLP 2023 Workshop at ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics)Authors: A. Berhe, G. Draznieks, V. Martenot, V. Masdeu, L. Davy, J-D. Zucker View publication Background Over the past few years, domain specific pretrained language models have been investigated and have shown remarkable achievements in different downstream tasks, especially in biomedical domain. These achievements stem on the well known BERT […]

AliBERT : the first pretrained language model for French biomedical text

The paper “AliBERT : A pretrained language model for French biomedical text” was written in collaboration with Aman Berhe, Guillaume Draznieks, Vincent Martenot, Valentin Masdeu, Lucas Davy and Jean-Daniel Zucker. BERT architecture, which allow for context learning on text documents, is mostly trained on common English text resources.Performances in other languages, especially in specific topics which requires deep knowledge and vocabulary, are […]

A Natural Language Processing (NLP) Approach to Automate Patients’ Testimonials Analysis

Event: ISPOR Europe 2022, Vienna, Austria Authors: P. Hayat, C. Clémente, V. Martenot, M. Rollot View Poster Objectives: Patients’ testimonials (e.g. posts on forums or responses to questionnaires) provide valuable insights to define and characterize patient-reported outcomes (PRO), quality of life and patients’ perspective of disease symptoms. However, traditional NLP methods used for automated analysis of patients’ […]
