<h2>GatorTron-Base overview </h2>

Developed by a joint effort between the University of Florida and NVIDIA, GatorTron-Base is a clinical language model of 345 million parameters, pre-trained using a BERT architecure implemented in the Megatron package (https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM). 

GatorTron-Base is pre-trained using a dataset consisting of:

- 82B words of de-identified clinical notes from the University of Florida Health System,
- 6.1B words from PubMed CC0,
- 2.5B words from WikiText,
- 0.5B words of de-identified clinical notes from MIMIC-III

The Github for GatorTron is at : https://github.com/uf-hobi-informatics-lab/GatorTron

This model is converted to Hugginface from : https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/teams/clara/models/gatortron_og

<h2>Model variations</h2>

Model | Parameter 
--- | --- 
[gatortron-base (this model)](https://huggingface.co./UFNLP/gatortron-base)| 345 million 
[gatortron-medium](https://huggingface.co./UFNLP/gatortron-medium) | 3.9 billion 
gatortron-large | 8.9 billion


<h2>De-identification</h2>

We applied a de-identification system to remove protected health information (PHI) from clinical text. We adopted the safe-harbor method to identify 18 PHI categories defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and replaced them with dummy strings (e.g., replace people’s names into [\*\*NAME\*\*]). 

The de-identifiation system is described in:
