This model repository presents "TinySapBERT", tiny-sized biomedical entity representations (language model) trained using official SapBERT code and instructions (Liu et al., NAACL 2021). We used our TinyPubMedBERT, a tiny-sized LM, as an initial starting point to train using the SapBERT scheme. cf) TinyPubMedBERT is a distillated PubMedBERT (Gu et al., 2021), open-sourced along with the release of the KAZU (Korea University and AstraZeneca) framework.
