# 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](https://rdcu.be/cMAp5), 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](https://www.sciencedirect.com/) using the [Elsevier API](https://dev.elsevier.com/). The detailed methodology is given in the paper.

The codes for pretraining and finetuning on downstream tasks are shared on [GitHub](https://github.com/m3rg-repo/MatSciBERT).
