# ViPubmed: Enriching Biomedical Knowledge for Low-resource Language Through Large-Scale Translation
## Overview
Biomedical data and benchmarks are highly valuable yet very limited in low-resource languages other than English, such as Vietnamese. In this paper, we use a state-of-the-art translation model in English-Vietnamese to translate and produce both pretrained and supervised data in the biomedical domains. Further, we release ViMedNLI - a new NLP task in Vietnamese translated from MedNLI using the recently public En-vi translation model and carefully refined by human experts.

## Methods
### We large scale translate 20M Pubmed Abstract from English to Vietnamese and pretrained a biomedical Encoder-Decoder model on this translated dataset.
## 1. Pretrained Models (ViPubmedT5)
**Vocabulary:**
ViT5_vocab
Model | Gin File Location | Checkpoint Location| Domain| Pretraining Corpus
------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------| -------------------| -------------------
ViPubmedT5 Base | ViT5_base.gin | gs://vietai_public/vipubmedt5_base/checkpoint_1500000 | Biomedical | Translated ViPubmed
## 2. Finetunning
### Finetunning example with T5X and Flaxformer: finetunning_vipubmedt5_example.ipynb
