Computational text phenotyping is the practice of identifying patients with certain disorders and traits from clinical notes. Rare diseases are challenging to be identified due to few cases available for machine learning and the need for…
The identification of disease-associated genes has recently gathered much attention for uncovering disease complex mechanisms that could lead to new insights into the treatment of diseases. For exploring disease-susceptible genes, not only…
This paper presents an advanced search engine prototype for bibliography retrieval developed within the CHRONIOUS European IP project of the seventh Framework Program (FP7). This search engine is specifically targeted to clinicians and…
The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked unprecedented mobilization of scientists, generating a deluge of papers that makes it hard for researchers to keep track and explore new directions. Search engines are designed for targeted queries, not for…
Recently, the use and deployment of web services has dramatically increased. This is due to the easiness, interoperability, and flexibility that web services offer to the software systems, which other software structures don't support or…
The rapid growth of publicly available textual resources, such as lexicons and domain-specific corpora, presents challenges in efficiently identifying relevant resources. While repositories are emerging, they often lack advanced search and…
Increased access to reliable health information is essential for non-English-speaking populations, yet resources in Bangla for disease prediction remain limited. This study addresses this gap by developing a comprehensive Bangla…
While large language models (LLMs) are rapidly advancing scientific research, they continue to struggle with core biological reasoning tasks essential for translational and biomedical discovery. To address this limitation, we created and…
Improving the precision of heart diseases detection has been investigated by many researchers in the literature. Such improvement induced by the overwhelming health care expenditures and erroneous diagnosis. As a result, various…
While large language models hold promise for complex medical applications, their development is hindered by the scarcity of high-quality reasoning data. To address this issue, existing approaches typically distill chain-of-thought reasoning…
The identification of rare diseases from clinical notes with Natural Language Processing (NLP) is challenging due to the few cases available for machine learning and the need of data annotation from clinical experts. We propose a method…
Publications in the life sciences are characterized by a large technical vocabulary, with many lexical and semantic variations for expressing the same concept. Towards addressing the problem of relevance in biomedical literature search, we…
Alzheimer's disease is a human brain disease that affects a significant fraction of the population by causing problems with short-term memory, thinking, spatial orientation and behavior, memory loss and other intellectual abilities. Up to…
This paper introduces uRAG--a framework with a unified retrieval engine that serves multiple downstream retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. Each RAG system consumes the retrieval results for a unique purpose, such as open-domain…
Data-driven science is an emerging paradigm where scientific discoveries depend on the execution of computational AI models against rich, discipline-specific datasets. With modern machine learning frameworks, anyone can develop and execute…
