Researchers have developed OncoNoteBERT, a specialized BERT-style language model designed for processing outpatient oncology notes. This model was trained from scratch using a custom WordPiece tokenizer and evaluated against existing models like RadBERT and PathologyBERT. OncoNoteBERT demonstrated superior tokenization efficiency and performed well on masked-token probes, indicating its effectiveness in capturing clinical terminology and treatment-related information specific to oncology.
