BioMed RoBERTa base BioMed RoBERTa base is a language model based on the RoBERTa base (Liu et. al, 2019) architecture. We adapt RoBERTa base to 2.68 million scientific papers from the Semantic Scholar corpus via continued pretraining. This amounts to 7.55B tokens and 47GB of data. We use the full text of the papers in training, not just abstracts. Specific details of the adaptive pretraining procedure can be found in Gururangan et. al, 2020. Evaluation BioMed RoBERTa achieves competitive performance to state of the art models on a number of NLP tasks in the biomedical domain (numbers are mean (standard deviation) over 3+ random seeds) Task Task Type RoBERTa base BioMed RoBERTa base RCT 180K Text Classification 86.4 (0.3) 86.9 (0.2) ChemProt Relation Extraction 81.1 (1.1) 83.0 (0.7) JNLPBA NER 74.3 (0.2) 75.2 (0.1) BC5CDR NER 85.6 (0.1) 87.8 (0.1) NCBI Disease NER 86.6 (0.3) 87.1 (0.8) More evaluations TBD.
