pro-team at LLMs4OL 2026 Tasks Flagship and Reuse: Retrieval-Augmented Generation and Vocabulary-Constrained Filtering for Ontology Learning

The pro-team at LLMs4OL 2026 presented a system for ontology learning that tackles both the End-to-End Flagship Task (Task A) and the Ontology Extension Reuse Task (Task B). Their approach uses an offline retrieval‑augmented few‑shot prompting pipeline with Qwen2.5‑14B‑Instruct and MiniLM‑L6‑v2 for retrieval, selecting top‑5 examples for Task A and top‑2 for Task B, and applies a left‑truncated context‑windowing strategy to keep task instructions in long prompts. For Task B, generated triples are filtered deterministically by a vocabulary constraint, keeping triples that involve at least one term from the closed vocabulary and removing duplicates of the initial ontology, achieving high scores in Semantic Graph Similarity, Term‑Typing F1, and Taxonomy Discovery F1, though no non‑taxonomic relations were extracted.

Learning to Fuse LLMs with Ontology Rankers for Rare-Disease Diagnosis

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.

MolE-RAG: Molecular Structure-Enhanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Chemistry

arXiv:2606. 05693v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for molecular property prediction, but their ability to reason over chemical structures remains limited, as molecular representations such as SMILES differ substantially from the natural language on which LLMs are primarily trained.
