Confusion about the differences between BERN & BERN2. #26

Closed sschet closed 2 years ago

sschet commented 2 years ago

Hi, I believe the difference between BERN & BERN2 is that BERN uses ST-NER BioBERT whereas BERN2 uses MT-NER BioLM. Is this correct? My confusion stems from the BioBERT GitHub (link) where it says BERN uses BioBERT and BERN2 uses BioBERT + BioLM. Any clarification on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi @sschet, you are correct. The readme was written a while ago when BERN2 was using BioBERT-based named entity normalization (NEN). Currently BERN2 uses Bio-LM for NER and PubMedBERT for NEN.
