  • names (dict[str, NameDescriptor]) –

    Names for this concept, or the value that if found in free text can be linked to this concept. Names is an dict like: `{name: {‘tokens’: tokens, ‘snames’: snames,

    ’raw_name’: raw_name}, …}`

    Names should be generated by helper function ‘medcat.preprocessing.cleaners.prepare_name’

  • name_status (str) – One of P, N, A. Defaults to ‘A’.

Parameters:
  • cui (str) – Concept ID or unique identifier in this database, all concepts that have the same CUI will be merged internally.

  • names (dict[str, NameDescriptor]) –

    Names for this concept, or the value that if found in free text can be linked to this concept. Names is a dict like: `{name: {‘tokens’: tokens, ‘snames’: snames,

    ’raw_name’: raw_name}, …}`

    Names should be generated by helper function ‘medcat.preprocessing.cleaners.prepare_name’

  • description (str) – Description of this concept.

  • full_build (bool) – If True the dictionary self.addl_info will also be populated, contains a lot of extra information about concepts, but can be very memory consuming. This is not necessary for normal functioning of MedCAT (Default Value False).

Return type:

None

reset_training()

Will remove all training efforts - in other words all embeddings that are learnt for concepts in the current CDB. Please note that this does not remove synonyms (names) that were potentially added during supervised/online learning.

Return type:

None

filter_by_cui(cuis_to_keep)

Subset the core CDB fields (dictionaries/maps).

Note that this will potenitally keep a bit more CUIs then in cuis_to_keep. It will first find all names that link to the cuis_to_keep and then find all CUIs that link to those names and keep all of them.

This also will not remove any data from cdb.addl_info - as this field can contain data of unknown structure.

Parameters:

cuis_to_keep (Collection[str]) – CUIs that will be kept, the rest will be removed (not completely, look above).

Raises:

Exception – If no snames and subsetting is not possible.

Return type:

None

remove_cui(cui)

This function takes a CUI and removes it the CDB.

It also removes the CUI from name specific per_cui_status maps as well as well as removes all the names that do not correspond to any CUIs after the removal of this one.

Parameters:

cui (str) – The CUI to remove.

Return type:

None

_remove_names(cui, names)

Remove names from an existing concept - effect is this name will never again be used to link to this concept. This will only remove the name from the linker (namely name2cuis and name2cuis2status), the name will still be present everywhere else. Why? Because it is bothersome to remove it from everywhere, but could also be useful to keep the removed names in e.g. cui2names.

Parameters:
  • cui (str) – Concept ID or unique identifier in this database.

  • names (Iterable[str]) – Names to be removed (e.g list, set, or even a dict (in which case keys will be used)).

self is explicitly positional-only to allow self as a field name.

Parameters:

data (Any)

Return type:

None

property model_extra: dict[str, Any] | None

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or `None` if `config.extra` is not set to `”allow”`.

Return type:

dict[str, Any] | None

property model_fields_set: set[str]

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set=None, **values)

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • handler (pydantic.annotated_handlers.GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

pydantic.json_schema.JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs)

This is intended to behave just like __init_subclass__, but is called by ModelMetaclass only after the class is actually fully initialized. In particular, attributes like model_fields will be present when this is called.

This is necessary because __init_subclass__ will always be called by type.__new__, and it would require a prohibitively large refactor to the ModelMetaclass to ensure that type.__new__ was called in such a manner that the class would already be sufficiently initialized.

This will receive the same kwargs that would be passed to the standard __init_subclass__, namely, any kwargs passed to the class definition that aren’t used internally by pydantic.

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Any keyword arguments passed to the class definition that aren’t used internally by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __class_getitem__(typevar_values)
Parameters:

typevar_values (type[Any] | tuple[type[Any], Ellipsis])

classmethod __init_subclass__(**kwargs)

This signature is included purely to help type-checkers check arguments to class declaration, which provides a way to conveniently set model_config key/value pairs.

```py from pydantic import BaseModel

class MyModel(BaseModel, extra=’allow’): … ```

However, this may be deceiving, since the _actual_ calls to __init_subclass__ will not receive any of the config arguments, and will only receive any keyword arguments passed during class initialization that are _not_ expected keys in ConfigDict. (This is due to the way ModelMetaclass.__new__ works.)

Parameters:

**kwargs (typing_extensions.Unpack[pydantic.config.ConfigDict]) – Keyword arguments passed to the class definition, which set model_config

Note

You may want to override __pydantic_init_subclass__ instead, which behaves similarly but is called after the class is fully initialized.

train_unsupervised(data_iterator, nepochs=1, fine_tune=True, progress_print=1000)

Runs training on the data, note that the maximum length of a line or document is 1M characters. Anything longer will be trimmed.

Parameters:

  • progress_print (int) – Print progress after N lines.

  • checkpoint (Optional[medcat.utils.checkpoint.CheckpointUT]) – The MedCAT checkpoint object

  • is_resumed (bool) – If True resume the previous training; If False, start a fresh new training.

_reset_cui_counts(train_set, reset_val=100)
Parameters:
train_supervised_raw(data, reset_cui_count=False, nepochs=1, print_stats=0, use_filters=False, terminate_last=False, use_overlaps=False, use_cui_doc_limit=False, test_size=0, devalue_others=False, use_groups=False, never_terminate=False, train_from_false_positives=False, extra_cui_filter=None, disable_progress=False, train_addons=False)

Train supervised based on the raw data provided.

The raw data is expected in the following format: {‘projects’:

[ # list of projects
{ # project 1

‘name’: ‘<some name>’, # list of documents ‘documents’: [{‘name’: ‘<some name>’, # document 1

‘text’: ‘<text of the document>’, # list of annotations ‘annotations’: [# annotation 1

{‘start’: -1, ‘end’: 1, ‘cui’: ‘cui’, ‘value’: ‘<text value>’}, …],

}, …]

}, …

]

}

Please take care that this is more a simulated online training then upervised.

When filtering, the filters within the CAT model are used first, then the ones from MedCATtrainer (MCT) export filters, and finally the extra_cui_filter (if set). That is to say, the expectation is: extra_cui_filter ⊆ MCT filter ⊆ Model/config filter.

Parameters:
  • data (dict[str, list[dict[str, dict]]]) – The raw data, e.g from MedCATtrainer on export.

  • reset_cui_count (bool) – Used for training with weight_decay (annealing). Each concept has a count that is there from the beginning of the CDB, that count is used for annealing. Resetting the count will significantly increase the training impact. This will reset the count only for concepts that exist in the the training data.

  • nepochs (int) – Number of epochs for which to run the training.

  • print_stats (int) – If > 0 it will print stats every print_stats epochs.

  • use_filters (bool) – Each project in medcattrainer can have filters, do we want to respect those filters when calculating metrics.

  • terminate_last (bool) – If true, concept termination will be done after all training.

  • use_overlaps (bool) – Allow overlapping entities, nearly always False as it is very difficult to annotate overlapping entities.

  • use_cui_doc_limit (bool) – If True the metrics for a CUI will be only calculated if that CUI appears in a document, in other words if the document was annotated for that CUI. Useful in very specific situations when during the annotation process the set of CUIs changed.

  • test_size (float) – If > 0 the data set will be split into train test based on this ration. Should be between 0 and 1. Usually 0.1 is fine.

  • devalue_others (bool) – Check add_name for more details.

  • use_groups (bool) – If True concepts that have groups will be combined and stats will be reported on groups.

  • never_terminate (bool) – If True no termination will be applied

  • train_from_false_positives (bool) – If True it will use false positive examples detected by medcat and train from them as negative examples.

  • extra_cui_filter (Optional[set]) – This filter will be intersected with all other filters, or if all others are not set then only this one will be used.

  • checkpoint (Optional[Optional[medcat.utils.checkpoint.Checkpoint]) – The MedCAT Checkpoint object

  • disable_progress (bool) – Whether to disable the progress output (tqdm). Defaults to False.

  • train_addons (bool) – Whether to also train the addons (e.g MetaCATs). Defaults to False.

Returns:

tuple – Consisting of the following parts fp (dict):

False positives for each CUI.

PS: If using this, it is important to use paths namespaced to the component you’re using in order to avoid conflicts.

Parameters:
  • path (str) – The path to be used. Should be prefixed by component name (e.g meta_cat_id for an ID tied to the meta_cat addon)

  • def_val (Any) – Default value. Defaults to None.

  • force (bool) – Whether to forcefully add the value. Defaults to True.

Return type:

Bases: Protocol

Base class for protocol classes.

Protocol classes are defined as:

class Proto(Protocol):
    def meth(self) -> int:
        ...

Such classes are primarily used with static type checkers that recognize structural subtyping (static duck-typing), for example:

class C:
    def meth(self) -> int:
        return 0

def func(x: Proto) -> int:
    return x.meth()

func(C())  # Passes static type check

See PEP 544 for details. Protocol classes decorated with @typing.runtime_checkable act as simple-minded runtime protocols that check only the presence of given attributes, ignoring their type signatures. Protocol classes can be generic, they are defined as:

class GenProto(Protocol[T]):
    def meth(self) -> T:
        ...
save_internals_to(folder_path)

Save tokenizer internals to specified folder.

The returning folder’s basename should start with TOKENIZER_PREFIX.

Parameters:

folder_path (str) – The folder to use for the internals.

Returns:

str – The subfolder the internals were saved to.

Return type:

str

load_internals_from(folder_path)

Attempt to load internals from a folder path.

If the specified folder exists, internals will be loaded. If the folder doesn’t exist, nothing will be loaded.

The given folder’s basename should start with TOKENIZER_PREFIX.

Parameters:

folder_path (str) – The path to the folder to load internals from.

Returns:

bool – Whether the loading was successful.

Return type:

bool
