TL;DR

A three-stage framework made up of neighborhood-aware retrieval, dual reranking, and score fusion that achieves the state of the art on average across five widely-used benchmarks and remains efficient at inference.

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. The task has several challenges at once: the KB contains large numbers of entities, mentions are often ambiguous, and gold labels follow annotation conventions specific to each corpus. To address these challenges, we propose PILOT, a three-stage framework made up of neighborhood-aware retrieval, dual reranking, and score fusion. The retriever injects ontological structure from both the query and KB side, by reformulating mentions and pooling entity embeddings. The retrieved pool is then scored from two complementary views, one over surface forms and one over context, and fused together. PILOT achieves the state of the art on average across five widely-used benchmarks and remains efficient at inference.

Biomedical Text Mining and Information Extraction Using Prompt-Enhanced and LoRA-Adapted Large Language Models

Biomedical named entity recognition (NER) and relation extraction (RE) remain challenging because biomedical texts contain ambiguous abbreviations, complex entity boundaries, domain-specific terminology, and implicit relations. This study proposes a prompt-enhanced and QLoRA-adapted large language model framework for b...

Bridging Lexical Divergence: LLM-Assisted, Cost-Efficient, Zero-shot Scientific Entity Linking

The Sci-ZSEL framework is proposed, a framework that selectively generates entity aliases with an LLM to control computational cost, and applies an ontology-aware filter to remove aliases that semantically drift toward ontology neighbors.

Aligning Biomedical Texts and Knowledge Graphs: A Systematic Comparison of Lightweight Alignment Strategies

It is found that the triple composition and the training direction have the greatest impact, whereas the text encoder and hard-negatives sampling matter little and simple choices win: projecting text into the KG space with a linear head over concatenated subject, predicate, and object embeddings performs best.

Language-Model-Based Architecture for Automatic Concept Placement in Ontologies

This paper addresses the placement of concepts that are absent from the target ontology—the out-of-knowledge-base setting—in which a textual mention must be assigned one or more insertion positions in the subsumption hierarchy rather than linked to an existing node.
