Multi-Functional Embedding Models for Funder Name Disambiguation in Scientific Publication Records

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces a multilingual, multi-functional framework for disambiguating funder names in scientific publications, using a training dataset that merges the Research Organization Registry with Web of Science and Crossref Open Funder Registry data. By applying multi-task learning with contrastive and multiple negatives ranking losses, the authors fine‑tune open‑weight embedding models from the Sentence Transformer, Gemma, and Qwen3 families, achieving over 90% accuracy in matching Web of Science funder names to ROR identifiers and surpassing general‑purpose LLMs by more than 0.1. For funders not present in ROR, a similarity network is constructed to identify clusters, and the study discusses challenges related to smaller and non‑English‑speaking funders.

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.

Extracting Dataset Mentions in Forced Displacement and FCV Documents: A Weakly Supervised Framework with LLM-Based Label Refinement

The paper introduces a weakly supervised framework for extracting dataset mentions from forced displacement and Fragile, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) documents. It uses a lightweight model trained on general research literature to generate candidate mentions, which are then refined by a large language model that validates or rejects them and corrects boundaries. The refined annotations are augmented with synthetic and contrastive examples to fine‑tune the model, achieving 74.1% precision and 70.5% recall on a benchmark of 1,706 passages, with higher precision (89.5%) on passages that contain dataset references.
