ChatDoctor Fine-Tuned SmolLM2-1.7B

A medical conversational AI model fine-tuned on the ChatDoctor dataset using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) technique.

Model Details

• Base Model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct
• Fine-Tuning Method: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
• Dataset: avaliev/chat_doctor
• Training Steps: 1494
• Final Loss: 1.18 (started at 1.59)

What This Model Does

This model is fine-tuned to respond like a medical professional. It can:

• Answer patient medical queries
• Suggest possible diagnoses based on symptoms
• Provide general health advice

Disclaimer: This model is for educational purposes only. Always consult a real doctor for medical advice.

How To Use

Installation

pip install transformers peft torch

Code

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM from peft import PeftModel import torch

BASE_MODEL = "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct" FINETUNED_MODEL = "gaurav2310/finetuned-smollm2"

Load tokenizer and base model

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(BASE_MODEL)

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( BASE_MODEL, dtype=torch.float16 )

Load LoRA adapter

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, FINETUNED_MODEL) model.eval()

Chat function

def ask_doctor(question): messages = [{"role": "user", "content": question}] inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template( messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=True, return_dict=True, return_tensors="pt", ).to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=200,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
        temperature=0.7,
        do_sample=True,
    )
return tokenizer.decode(
    outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:],
    skip_special_tokens=True
)

Example

print(ask_doctor("I have a headache and fever from 2 days. What should I do?"))

Example Output

Patient: I have a headache and fever from 2 days. What should I do?

Model: Based on your symptoms, you may be experiencing a viral infection. I recommend rest, staying hydrated, and taking paracetamol for fever. If fever exceeds 103°F or symptoms worsen, please consult a doctor immediately.
