Medcat 1.7.0 trained on documents, or sentences (short documents)

Is Medcat1.7.0 trained on sentences, or on multi-sentence documents, i.e. documents greater than 100 characters.

Hi,

I am not fully sure what you mean by your question. The 1.7.0 release of medcat is not a trained model (nor does it contain one), but a package that provides the means and tools for training and using of a medCAT model.

The models we have publicly available are listed in the README:

None of these have actually been trained on medcat v1.7.0 (though should be mostly compatible with it).
All the models trained on MIMIC-III were certainly trained on documents mostly bigger than 100 characters. And I’m pretty sure many of the Dutch wikipedia would also have documents that are larger than 100 characters (referring to the Dutch UMLS model).
