Biomedical ontology normalization maps free-text expressions to standardized concepts, enabling consistent integration and analysis of biomedical data. This task remains challenging because lexical va...
arXiv:2609.08174v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce OntologyBench, a tiered biomedical retrieval benchmark comprising 471,854 training and 125,744 evaluation query-document relevance pairs a...
arXiv:2608. 04144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biomedical entity linking grounds mentions in clinical and scientific text to entities in a curated knowledge base (KB) with ontological structure, which supports downstream applications such as literature-scale information extraction and patient-record normalization.
arXiv:2608.31118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The effect of Large Language Model (LLM) scale on ontology learning (OL) performance remains insufficiently characterized. We present a controlled eval...
arXiv:2605. 28965v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Linking free-text phenotype descriptions to ontology terms, typically referred to as phenotype annotation, is essential for the cross-study integration of comparative morphological data.
arXiv:2607. 01977v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ontology learning (OL) aims to automatically construct structured knowledge models from text, yet progress remains fragmented across methods, domains, and evaluation practices.
arXiv:2607. 18927v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present OntoBook, a method that converts medical ontology structure into pretraining signal for encoder language models.
The paper proposes a behavior-based fusion model that combines large language models (LLMs) with ontology rankers to improve rare-disease diagnosis. By examining ranked lists, agreement, and ontology support, the model learns how much to rely on each system per case, achieving significant recall gains on Phenopacket Store and RAMEDIS benchmarks. Importantly, the fused diagnoses retain candidate-level ontology evidence for inspection.
arXiv:2604. 08552v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scientific metadata are often incomplete and noncompliant with community standards, limiting dataset findability, interoperability, and reuse.
The paper introduces UdonCare, a hierarchy‑pruning method that iteratively partitions patients into latent domains using medical ontologies, aiming to improve domain generalization in clinical prediction tasks. It addresses challenges of missing domain labels and lack of clinical insight by discovering hierarchy‑grounded patient domains. Experiments on MIMIC‑III, MIMIC‑IV, and eICU datasets show UdonCare outperforms eight baseline methods across four prediction tasks with significant domain gaps.
arXiv:2608. 19201v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bioinformatics software and databases are essential components of modern life science research, yet their mentions in the scientific literature are often inconsistent and difficult to systematically identify at scale.
arXiv:2605. 07022v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Manually curated biomedical repositories -- spanning bioactivity, genomics, and chemistry -- are expensive to maintain, lag behind primary literature, and discard experimental context, obscuring nuances needed to assess data correctness and coverage.
