+# CarD-T: Carcinogen Detection via Transformers
+
+## Overview
+
+CarD-T (Carcinogen Detection via Transformers) is a novel text analytics approach that combines transformer-based machine learning with probabilistic statistical analysis to efficiently nominate carcinogens from scientific texts. This model is designed to address the challenges faced by current systems in managing the burgeoning biomedical literature related to carcinogen identification and classification.
+
+## Model Details
+
+- **Architecture**: Based on Bio-ELECTRA, a 335 million parameter language model
+- **Training Data**: PubMed abstracts featuring known carcinogens from International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) groups G1 and G2A
+- **Task**: Named Entity Recognition (NER) for carcinogen identification
+- **Performance**: 
+  - Precision: 0.894
+  - Recall: 0.857
+  - F1 Score: 0.875
+
+## Features
+
+- Efficient nomination of potential carcinogens from scientific literature
+- Context classifier to enhance accuracy and manage computational demands
+- Capable of identifying both chemical and non-chemical carcinogenic factors
+- Trained on a comprehensive dataset of carcinogen-related abstracts from 2000-2024
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- Streamlining toxicogenomic literature reviews
+- Identifying potential carcinogens for further investigation
+- Augmenting existing carcinogen databases with emerging candidates
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Identifies potential candidates, not confirmed carcinogens
+- Analysis limited to abstract-level information
+- May be influenced by publication trends and research focus shifts
