Technical Report: Small Language Model for Japanese Clinical and Medicine
Abstract
A 1B-parameter Japanese clinical and medicine small language model, NCVC-slm-1, trained on high-quality and domain-augmented text with specialized preprocessing and tokenization, achieves top scores on 6 of 8 JMED-LLM tasks after fine-tuning, showing feasibility for clinical and medicine downstream tasks.
This report presents a small language model (SLM) for Japanese clinical and medicine, named NCVC-slm-1. This 1B parameters model was trained using Japanese text classified to be of high-quality. Moreover, NCVC-slm-1 was augmented with respect to clinical and medicine content that includes the variety of diseases, drugs, and examinations. Using a carefully designed pre-processing, a specialized morphological analyzer and tokenizer, this small and light-weight model performed not only to generate text but also indicated the feasibility of understanding clinical and medicine text. In comparison to other large language models, a fine-tuning NCVC-slm-1 demonstrated the highest scores on 6 tasks of total 8 on JMED-LLM. According to this result, SLM indicated the feasibility of performing several downstream tasks in the field of clinical and medicine. Hopefully, NCVC-slm-1 will be contributed to develop and accelerate the field of clinical and medicine for a bright future.
