BioBERT Embedding

To get contextualized embeddings from BioBERT-v1.1 (base), run the command below. Note that as the output is saved in hdf5 format, you need to install the h5py package (pip install h5py) first. We also provide a sample input text (pubmed_entity_2048.txt) which contains biomedical concepts for each line.

export MAX_LENGTH=384
export DATA_PATH=pubmed_entity_2048.txt
export OUTPUT_PATH=pubmed_entity_2048.h5
export BATCH_SIZE=64

python run_embedding.py \
    --model_name_or_path dmis-lab/biobert-base-cased-v1.1 \
    --max_seq_length  ${MAX_LENGTH} \
    --data_path ${DATA_PATH} \
    --output_path ${OUTPUT_PATH} \
    --batch_size ${BATCH_SIZE} \
    --pooling mean

Required Arguments

• --pooling
  • none: embeddings of a sequence of tokens
  • first: embedding of the first token (i.e., embedding at [CLS])
  • mean: embedding of mean of token embeddings
  • sum: embedding of sum of token embeddings

Load Embeddings

export DATA_PATH=pubmed_entity_2048.txt
export OUTPUT_PATH=pubmed_entity_2048.h5

python load_embedding.py \
    --inputtext_path ${DATA_PATH}\
    --indexed_path ${OUTPUT_PATH}

Result

The number of keys in h5: 2048
entity_name = Lohmann Selected Leghorn
embedding = [2.77513593e-01  2.03759596e-02  1.59252986e-01 ...  7.65920877e-02  2.49284402e-01 -1.48969248e-01]

Visualization

The embedding of different biomedical concepts (obtained from here) are visualized below with T-SNE. Each of different colors or shapes refers to the unique biomedical concept (having multiple synonyms).
