Extract arbitrary, custom entity types from clinical or biomedical text with no fine-tuning using OpenMed's GLiNER / GLiNER2 zero-shot support. Use when the user wants to define their own labels on the fly (e.g. Drug, Symptom, Device, Procedure), has no labelled data or a label set not covered by a fine-tuned model, or asks about openmed zero deps/index/infer, the gliner extra, or GLiNER. Pairs adjacent to extracting-clinical-entities (use that for high-accuracy fixed-schema NER) and…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Running Zero-Shot NER

Zero-shot NER lets you extract entity types you **name at inference time** — no
training, no labelled data. OpenMed wraps GLiNER (v1) and GLiNER2 behind a small
index + inference layer, exposed via the `openmed zero` CLI and the `openmed.ner`
Python API. It runs on-device.

## When to use

- Your label set is **custom or evolving** ("Device", "Implant", "Allergen") and no
  fine-tuned OpenMed model emits exactly those labels.
- You have **no labelled data** to fine-tune with.
- You need a quick prototype or a one-off extraction over an unusual schema.

**When to prefer a fine-tuned model instead** (`extracting-clinical-entities`):
for a fixed, well-supported schema (diseases, drugs, anatomy), a fine-tuned
OpenMed model is more accurate and faster than zero-shot. Zero-shot trades some
accuracy for total label flexibility — use it for coverage of new types, then
graduate to a fine-tuned model once the schema stabilises.

## Install

```bash
pip install "openmed[gliner]"   # GLiNER v1 span models
pip install "openmed[gliner2]"  # GLiNER2.5 checkpoints via gliner2.AutoExtractor

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/running-zeroshot-ner@sha256:141be4d2dc859252

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
