CLMBR-T-Base-Random

This is a CLMBR model with randomly initialized weights using a dummy vocabulary. The purpose of this model is to test code pipelines and demonstrate how to use CLMBR before applying for access to the official CLMBR release that was trained on real Stanford Hospital data.

The model architecture is CLMBR-T-Base (144M params), as originally described in the EHRSHOT paper (Wornow et al. 2023), and based on the architecture originally developed in the Clinical Language Modeling Based Representations paper (Steinberg et al. 2021)

The weights are random, so this model has no clinical or research use.

Model Sources

Uses

This model generates (random) dense representations for patients based on the structured data within their electronic health record.

These representations can then be used for downstream tasks such as predicting diagnoses, detecting anomalies, or doing propensity score matching for causal inference.

Again, please note that this version of the model has random weights. Thus, the outputs should be meaningless.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

First, download the necessary libraries.

# Create Python 3.10 environment
conda create --name ehrshot_env python=3.10 -y
conda activate ehrshot_env

# Install requirements
pip install torch==2.1.1 femr==0.2.0 datasets==2.15.0 flash_attn==2.3.6 transformers==4.35.2

Second, run the following Python script to run inference on a single patient:

import femr.models.transformer
import torch
import femr.models.tokenizer
import femr.models.dataloader
import datetime

model_name = "StanfordShahLab/clmbr-t-base-random"

# Load tokenizer / batch loader
tokenizer = femr.models.tokenizer.FEMRTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
batch_processor = femr.models.dataloader.FEMRBatchProcessor(tokenizer)

# Load model
model = femr.models.transformer.FEMRModel.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Create an example patient to run inference on
example_patient = {
    'patient_id': 30,
    'events': [{
        'time': datetime.datetime(2011, 5, 8),
        'measurements': [
            {'code': 'SNOMED/1'},
        ],
    },
    {
        'time': datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 9),
        'measurements': [
            {'code': 'SNOMED/30'},
            {'code': 'SNOMED/103'}
        ],
    }]
}
batch = batch_processor.convert_patient(example_patient, tensor_type="pt")

# Run model
with torch.no_grad():
    patient_ids, times, reprs = model(batch)
    print(patient_ids)
    print(times)
    print(reprs)

Training Details

This model is not trained.

Evaluation

None, as the weights are random.

Technical Specifications

Please see the EHRSHOT paper (Wornow et al. 2023) for details on the model architecture and objective.

Compute Infrastructure

This model was not trained.

Software

For data loading / processing, this model leverages FEMR, a Python library for doing machine learning on EHR data at scale.
