Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of BioBERT in medical text processing for the task of medical named entity recognition. Through comparative experiments with models such as BERT, ClinicalBERT, SciBERT, and BlueBERT, the results showed that BioBERT achieved the best performance in both precision and F1 score, verifying its applicability and superiority in the medical field. BioBERT enhances its ability to understand professional terms and complex medical texts through pre-training on biomedical data, providing a powerful tool for medical information extraction and clinical decision support. The study also explored the privacy and compliance challenges of BioBERT when processing medical data, and proposed future research directions for combining other medical-specific models to improve generalization and robustness. With the development of deep learning technology, the potential of BioBERT…
