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

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

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.

A Scalable Cross-Domain Event Extraction System via a Unified Generative Training Framework

The paper introduces a scalable cross‑domain event extraction system built on a unified generative sequence‑to‑sequence framework. It jointly handles event detection and argument extraction, allowing both pipeline and end‑to‑end configurations. By fine‑tuning pretrained language models on multiple event datasets from diverse domains, the system retains domain‑specific semantics while generalizing across large, evolving label spaces, and offers a web‑based application for researchers to upload documents, extract events, visualize triggers and arguments, and compare configurations.
