Building evidence-based knowledge bases from full-text literature for disease-specific biomedical reasoning

EvidenceNet is a disease‑specific dataset that transforms full‑text biomedical literature into structured evidence records and graph representations, preserving study design, provenance, and quantitative support. Using an LLM‑assisted pipeline, it extracts experimentally grounded findings, normalizes entities, scores evidence quality, and links related records via typed semantic relations. The released subsets—EvidenceNet‑HCC and EvidenceNet‑CRC—contain thousands of evidence records and richly connected graphs, with high extraction and relation‑type accuracy, enabling retrieval‑augmented question answering and graph‑based tasks such as link prediction and target prioritization.

Configurable Semantic Chunking for Biomedical Information Extraction in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The paper introduces a configurable semantic chunking framework for biomedical information extraction in retrieval‑augmented generation systems. It replaces the fixed‑size chunking stage of BioMedRAG with entity‑preserving windows, trigger‑centered chunking, proposition‑first extraction, tiered trigger prioritization, and hierarchical relation resolution, while keeping the rest of the pipeline unchanged. Experiments on relation extraction benchmarks (GM‑CIHT, DDI, ChemProt) and adverse event classification (ADE) show that the hybrid configuration boosts performance on datasets with explicit relation cues, achieving 82.6% F1 on GM‑CIHT compared to 74.2% with the baseline.

Med-CRAFT: An Information System for Explainable and Configurable Construction of Multimodal Medical QA Datasets

arXiv:2512. 01045v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Data-intensive artificial intelligence applications increasingly rely on large-scale, high-quality, explainable, and reproducible datasets, yet the construction of such datasets often remains labor-intensive, weakly traceable, and difficult to configure.
