Researchers have developed a new method for pretraining medical language encoders using web-scale data, addressing limitations of smaller, manually curated corpora. Their approach involves filtering documents for medical term density and using an LLM to rewrite them into denser variants with broader entity contexts. This "recipe" was applied to French medical NLP, resulting in the FineMed corpus and the DoctoBERT encoder family, which demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on clinical Named Entity Recognition tasks.
