Clinical NER model using spaCy's SpanCategorizer implementation and [medBERT.de](https://huggingface.co/GerMedBERT/medbert-512).

Usage:

```python
!huggingface-cli download phlobo/de_ggponc_medbertde de_ggponc_medbertde-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl --local-dir .
!pip install de_ggponc_medbertde-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('de_ggponc_medbertde')
d = nlp("allein nach Versagen einer Behandlung mit Oxaliplatin und Irinotecan")
for e in d.spans['entities']:
  print(e, e.label_)

```

yields:

```
Oxaliplatin Clinical_Drug
Irinotecan Clinical_Drug
Versagen einer Behandlung Other_Finding
Behandlung mit Oxaliplatin und Irinotecan Therapeutic
```

The model has been trained on gold standard labels in GGPONC 2.0 (https://aclanthology.org/2022.lrec-1.389/).

It detects the following 8 entity classes:

- Findings: Diagnosis / Pathology and Other Findings
- Substances: Clinical Drug, Nutrients / Body Substances, External Substances
- Procedures: Therapeutic, Diagnostic

The configuration for training the model is available here: https://github.com/hpi-dhc/ggponc
