AAbAAC: An Annotated Corpus for Autoimmunity Information Extraction

arXiv:2606. 13051v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite advances in information extraction driven by deep learning and large language models, performance gaps remain in highly specialized biomedical fields, where domainspecific complexity poses challenges for generalist models.

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.

Neighborhood-Aware Dual Biomedical Entity Linking

arXiv:2608. 04144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biomedical entity linking grounds mentions in clinical and scientific text to entities in a curated knowledge base (KB) with ontological structure, which supports downstream applications such as literature-scale information extraction and patient-record normalization.
