In-Context Dutch Clinical Embeddings with BioLORD & MedMentions

Do mentions sharing the same text need to have the same embedding? No!

This model supports embedding biomedical entities in both English and Dutch, but support in-context embedding of concepts, using the following template:

mention text [SEP] (context: ... a textual example containing mention text and some more text on both sides ...)

It also supports embedding mentions without context, particularly in English.
