LingShu is a large-scale, symptom‑centric knowledge graph that bridges Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern biomedicine. It contains 17.33 million entity records and 39.47 million relation records, combining 17.19 million semantic triples with 22.29 million contextualized quadruples to encode conditional medical associations. The graph integrates data from electronic medical records, TCM texts, biomedical ontologies, and curated knowledge bases, and is supported by a web platform offering visualization, reasoning, and evidence‑grounded question answering.
The paper introduces MiNER, a fine‑tuned biomedical NLP system that uses BioBERT to extract malaria‑related named entities from scientific literature. It builds a large, annotated corpus of malaria articles, preprocesses the text, and applies supervised learning to improve extraction performance. Experiments show that MiNER outperforms other encoding and machine‑learning methods in precision, recall, and accuracy, and the authors release the human‑labeled dataset for further research.
EvidenceNet is a disease‑specific dataset that transforms full‑text biomedical literature into structured evidence records and graph representations, preserving study design, provenance, and quantitative support. Using an LLM‑assisted pipeline, it extracts experimentally grounded findings, normalizes entities, scores evidence quality, and links related records via typed semantic relations. The released subsets—EvidenceNet‑HCC and EvidenceNet‑CRC—contain thousands of evidence records and richly connected graphs, with high extraction and relation‑type accuracy, enabling retrieval‑augmented question answering and graph‑based tasks such as link prediction and target prioritization.
arXiv:2608. 19201v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bioinformatics software and databases are essential components of modern life science research, yet their mentions in the scientific literature are often inconsistent and difficult to systematically identify at scale.
arXiv:2604. 25374v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Background: Dutch medical corpora are scarce, limiting NLP development.
OptimusKG is a multimodal biomedical labeled property graph that integrates structured and semi‑structured resources to preserve detailed, type‑specific metadata across molecular, anatomical, clinical, and environmental domains. The graph contains nearly 191,000 nodes, over 21.8 million edges, and more than 67 million property instances derived from 18 ontologies, with a top‑level schema that enforces node and edge constraints while retaining granular provenance. Validation using the PaperQA3 agent found that 70.0% of sampled edges are supported by literature evidence, and the graph offers a standardized resource for machine learning, knowledge‑grounded retrieval, and hypothesis generation in biomedical research.
