MediAlbertina: An European Portuguese medical language model
This study contributes with the first publicly available medical language model trained with PT-PT data. It underscores the efficacy of domain adaptation and offers a contribution to the scientific community in overcoming obstacles of non-English languages. With MediAlbertina, further steps can be taken to assist physicians, in creating decision support systems or building medical timelines in order to perform profiling, by fine-tuning MediAlbertina for PT- PT medical tasks.
