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.
PiPMRE is a new pipeline for medical relation extraction that uses language models instead of traditional tagging schemes. The framework includes a relation generator that produces multiple relational triplets from a text and a relation filter that scores and selects the most reliable triplets. Experiments on two public datasets show that PiPMRE outperforms previous state‑of‑the‑art methods, improving recall by 5.6 points and accuracy by 4.4 points, and it also performs well in few‑shot scenarios.
The paper introduces pre‑trained models for extracting variant‑phenotype relations from biomedical text, focusing on the SNPPhenA corpus. Fine‑tuning small BERT‑based models, especially DeBERTa, achieves performance close to the current state‑of‑the‑art. Moreover, careful fine‑tuning of Google’s Gemini Pro 1.0 surpasses existing benchmarks on both sentence‑level and abstract‑level relation extraction tasks.
SciNLP is a new benchmark dataset for full‑text entity and relation extraction in the NLP domain, comprising 60 manually annotated papers with 6,429 entities and 1,649 relations. It is the first dataset to provide full‑text annotations of entities and their relationships specifically for NLP literature. Experiments show that models trained on SciNLP outperform baselines on certain tasks, and the dataset enabled the automatic construction of a fine‑grained knowledge graph with an average node degree of 3.3.
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.
