Recorded capabilities

110M BERT masked LM

Captured config identifies BertForMaskedLM and Safetensors metadata reports 109951602 parameters.

Materials-domain focus

According to the model card, the model is a BERT model trained on materials science research papers for text mining and information extraction.

Documented materials corpus

The model card describes a corpus spanning alloys, glasses, metallic glasses, cement, and concrete from ScienceDirect.

Research code and citation

The model card says pretraining and fine-tuning code is shared on GitHub and gives a 2022 npj Computational Materials citation.

Use cases in the source record

  • Masked-language modeling over materials-science text for text mining and information extraction workflows.
  • Domain fine-tuning studies that start from a BERT model already exposed to alloys, glasses, cement, and concrete literature.

Limitations and unknowns

  • No evaluation results were extracted from this record.
  • No context-window value was extracted from this record.
  • Provider state is historical snapshot data, not independently refreshed current availability.
  • Corpus and methodology details come from the publisher model card and linked paper and have not been independently verified by Ethen.

MatSciBERT A Materials Domain Language Model for Text Mining and Information Extraction This is the pretrained model presented in MatSciBERT: A materials domain language model for text mining and information extraction , which is a BERT model trained on material science research papers. The training corpus comprises papers related to the broad category of materials: alloys, glasses, metallic glasses, cement and concrete. We have utilised the abstracts and full text of papers(when available). All the research papers have been downloaded from ScienceDirect using the Elsevier API . The detailed methodology is given in the paper. The co…
