This repository serves as a comprehensive, community-driven hub for medical Natural Language Processing (NLP), aggregating resources for evaluations, competitions, datasets, pre-trained models, and research papers. It targets researchers, developers, and practitioners in the medical NLP domain, aiming to streamline access to critical tools and knowledge for advancing medical AI.

How It Works

The project functions as a curated index, linking to external resources rather than hosting them directly. It categorizes information into distinct sections, including benchmarks (CMB, CMExam, PromptCBLUE, MedBench), competitions (ongoing and past), and extensive lists of datasets for both LLMs and VLMs. It also provides pointers to pre-trained medical PLMs, LLMs, VLMs, relevant papers, open-source toolkits, and industrial solutions. The recent focus is on Medical VLM resources.

Quick Start & Requirements

This repository is a collection of links and does not have a direct installation or execution command. Users are directed to individual linked projects for setup and requirements.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive lists of Chinese and English medical NLP datasets, including large-scale conversational and knowledge graph data.
• Curated resources for medical Visual Language Models (VLMs), including datasets and benchmarks like MedTrinity-25M, LLaVA-Med, and OmniMedVQA.
• A broad overview of pre-trained medical language models (PLMs) and large language models (LLMs), covering both multilingual and Chinese-specific options.
• Links to numerous academic papers and conference proceedings relevant to medical NLP, from foundational concepts to post-ChatGPT era research.

Maintenance & Community

The repository is actively maintained by Rongsheng Wang, with contributions from Xidong Wang, Ziyue Lin, and Jing Tang. Recent updates (Nov 2024) indicate a focus on Medical VLM resources.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository itself is not licensed as it is a collection of links. Users must refer to the individual linked projects for their respective licenses and compatibility terms.

Limitations & Caveats

As a curated index, the quality and availability of linked resources are external to this repository. Users must verify the status and licensing of each individual project. Some links may become outdated over time.
