Introduction: The labour-intensive nature of data extraction from sources like discharge summaries (DS) poses significant obstacles to the digitisation of medical records particularly for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In this…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in medical question answering but often struggle with hallucinations and shallow reasoning, particularly in tasks requiring nuanced clinical understanding. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)…
Summaries of meetings are very important as they convey the essential content of discussions in a concise form. Generally, it is time consuming to read and understand the whole documents. Therefore, summaries play an important role as the…
In digital pathology, precise nuclei segmentation is pivotal yet challenged by the diversity of tissue types, staining protocols, and imaging conditions. Recently, the segment anything model (SAM) revealed overwhelming performance in…
Evidence plays a crucial role in any biomedical research narrative, providing justification for some claims and refutation for others. We seek to build models of scientific argument using information extraction methods from full-text…
We present a novel system that automatically extracts and generates informative and descriptive sentences from the biomedical corpus and facilitates the efficient search for relational knowledge. Unlike previous search engines or…
Information Retrieval (IR) is the task of obtaining pieces of data (such as documents) that are relevant to a particular query or need from a large repository of information. IR is a valuable component of several downstream Natural Language…
As an important paradigm for enhancing the generation quality of Large Language Models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) faces the two challenges regarding retrieval accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper presents a…
Medical image segmentation driven by free-text clinical instructions is a critical frontier in computer-aided diagnosis. However, existing multimodal and foundation models struggle with the semantic ambiguity of clinical reports and fail to…
Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) demonstrated impressive zero-shot capabilities on natural images but faces challenges in biomedical segmentation due to significant domain shifts and prompt dependency. To address these limitations, we…
Despite recent progress in text-prompt-based medical image segmentation, these methods are limited to single-round dialogues and fail to support multi-round reasoning, which is important for medical education scenarios. In this work, we…
Widely adopted medical image segmentation methods, although efficient, are primarily deterministic and remain poorly amenable to natural language prompts. Thus, they lack the capability to estimate multiple proposals, human interaction, and…
Objective: To develop a corpus annotated for diet-microbiome associations from the biomedical literature and train natural language processing (NLP) models to identify these associations, thereby improving the understanding of their role in…
Fine-grained entity recognition is crucial for reasoning and decision-making in task-oriented dialogues, yet current large language models (LLMs) continue to face challenges in domain adaptation and retrieval controllability. We introduce…
Long-context large language models remain computationally expensive to run and often fail to reliably process very long inputs, which makes context compression an important component of many systems. Existing compression approaches…
Deep learning based methods often suffer from performance degradation caused by domain shift. In recent years, many sophisticated network structures have been designed to tackle this problem. However, the advent of large model trained on…
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly improved complex reasoning capabilities. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has further extended these capabilities by grounding generation in dynamically retrieved…
Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) is dominated by a retrieve-then-reason paradigm, where context is retrieved using heuristics and then reasoned over. Such methods struggle to adapt to the query-specific logic required for…
In this paper, we propose a new distillation method for extracting knowledge from Large Foundation Models (LFM) into lightweight models, introducing a novel supervision mode that does not require manually annotated data. While LFMs exhibit…
Engineering LLMs to accelerate life sciences research requires a robust alignment with biomedical knowledge. We observe that biomedical text exhibits a fundamentally different uncertainty structure from general text: dense low-confidence…
