BioClinical ModernBERT: A State-of-the-Art Long-Context Encoder for Biomedical and Clinical NLP
Thomas Sounack, Joshua Davis, Brigitte Durieux +7
Encoder-based transformer models are central to biomedical and clinical Natural Language Processing (NLP), as their bidirectional self-attention makes them well-suited for efficien…
ACES: Automatic Cohort Extraction System for Event-Stream Datasets
Justin Xu, Jack Gallifant, Alistair E. W. Johnson +1
Reproducibility remains a significant challenge in machine learning (ML) for healthcare. Datasets, model pipelines, and even task or cohort definitions are often private in this fi…
A Closer Look at AUROC and AUPRC under Class Imbalance
Matthew B. A. McDermott, Haoran Zhang, Lasse Hyldig Hansen +2
In machine learning (ML), a widespread claim is that the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) is a superior metric for model comparison to the area under the receiver oper…
