Model Card for AI-Driven Health Literacy Simplification Model

This model simplifies complex medical texts to a 6th-grade reading level, enhancing health literacy among patients with low health literacy.

Model Details

Model Description

This model uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to translate complex medical information into a format that is accessible to individuals with a 6th-grade reading level. The goal is to improve comprehension and health outcomes for patients with low health literacy.

  • Developed by: Wernicke AI
  • Funded by: ME [More Information Needed]
  • Shared by: [More Information Needed]
  • Model type: Text Simplification
  • Language(s) (NLP): English
  • License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial 3.0
  • Finetuned from model: tiiuae/falcon-40b

Uses

Direct Use

The model can be used directly to simplify patient education materials to improve accessibility and comprehension.

Downstream Use

The model can be integrated into healthcare platforms and patient portals to provide simplified information, aiding patients in understanding their medical conditions and treatment plans.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model should not be used for generating medical advice or instructions without proper validation from healthcare professionals to avoid misinformation.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The model may not fully capture all nuances of medical information, leading to oversimplification or loss of critical details. There is also a risk of bias in the training data affecting the output.

Recommendations

Users should validate the simplified text with healthcare professionals to ensure accuracy and completeness of the information.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

from transformers import (
    AutoConfig,
    AutoModelForCausalLM,
    AutoTokenizer,
    BitsAndBytesConfig
)

from peft import PeftConfig

MODEL = "9rofe/Wernicke-AI3"

bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=True,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)

config = PeftConfig.from_pretrained(MODEL)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    config.base_model_name_or_path,
    return_dict=True,
    quantization_config=bnb_config,
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True
)

tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(config.base_model_name_or_path)
tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, MODEL)

generation_config = model.generation_config
generation_config.max_new_tokens = 500 # MODIFY
generation_config.temperature = 0.7
generation_config.top_p = 0.7
generation_config.num_return_sequences = 1
generation_config.pad_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
generation_config.eos_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id

%%time
device = "cuda:0"

prompt = """
<user>: Convert this text to reading level 6: {TEXT}
<assistant>:
""".strip()

encoding = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
with torch.inference_mode():
  outputs = model.generate(
      input_ids = encoding.input_ids,
      attention_mask = encoding.attention_mask,
      generation_config = generation_config
  )

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Utilize this prompt:

prompt = """
<user>: Convert this text to reading level 6: {TEXT}
<assistant>:
""".strip()

Training Details
