BioELX: Context-Aware Cross-lingual Biomedical Entity Linking without Task-Specific Supervision

BioELX is a retrieve‑rerank framework for cross‑lingual biomedical entity linking that tackles two key problems: the English‑biased UMLS alias training data and the degradation caused by naïvely adding context. It fine‑tunes SapBERT_multi with Wikidata‑derived cross‑lingual alias supervision to create shared concept neighborhoods, and then reranks candidates using pretrained LLMs with mention‑anchored prompting to focus on the target mention. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on four benchmarks, improving Recall@1 by 4.8–18.2 percentage points without task‑specific annotations.

Robustness of IR Models to Collection Growth

The paper investigates how adding non‑relevant documents to a collection affects the performance of Information Retrieval (IR) models. It distinguishes between Multi‑Document‑Agnostic (MDA) models, which do not rely on other documents, and Multi‑Document‑Dependent (MDD) models, which do, and evaluates both on two collections with little topic overlap. Results show that all models suffer some performance loss when non‑relevant documents are added, but MDA models outperform MDD models in retrieval tasks, while both perform similarly in reranking.
