Adverse reaction caused by drugs is a potentially dangerous problem which may lead to mortality and morbidity in patients. Adverse Drug Event (ADE) extraction is a significant problem in biomedical research. We model ADE extraction as a…
Relation extraction is a fundamental problem in natural language processing. Most existing models are defined for relation extraction in the general domain. However, their performance on specific domains (e.g., biomedicine) is yet unclear.…
Document-level Relation Extraction (DocRE) involves identifying relations between entities across multiple sentences in a document. Evidence sentences, crucial for precise entity pair relationships identification, enhance focus on essential…
Biomedical knowledge graphs (KGs) are vital for drug discovery and clinical decision support but remain incomplete. Large language models (LLMs) excel at extracting biomedical relations, yet their outputs lack standardization and alignment…
Document-level relation extraction (DocRE) poses the challenge of identifying relationships between entities within a document as opposed to the traditional RE setting where a single sentence is input. Existing approaches rely on logical…
Automatic extraction of clinical concepts is an essential step for turning the unstructured data within a clinical note into structured and actionable information. In this work, we propose a clinical concept extraction model for automatic…
Document-level relation extraction aims to discover relations between entities across a whole document. How to build the dependency of entities from different sentences in a document remains to be a great challenge. Current approaches…
Monitoring the administration of drugs and adverse drug reactions are key parts of pharmacovigilance. In this paper, we explore the extraction of drug mentions and drug-related information (reason for taking a drug, route, frequency,…
When answering natural language questions over knowledge bases (KBs), different question components and KB aspects play different roles. However, most existing embedding-based methods for knowledge base question answering (KBQA) ignore the…
Relation Extraction (RE) is the task of extracting semantic relationships between entities in a sentence and aligning them to relations defined in a vocabulary, which is generally in the form of a Knowledge Graph (KG) or an ontology.…
Most work in relation extraction forms a prediction by looking at a short span of text within a single sentence containing a single entity pair mention. However, many relation types, particularly in biomedical text, are expressed across…
