• Title: Disease Normalization with Graph Embeddings
• Authors: Dhruba Pujary and Camilo Thorne and Wilker Aziz
• Abstract summary: We train and test our methods on the known NCBI disease benchmark corpus. We propose to represent disease names by leveraging MeSH's graphical structure together with the lexical information available in the taxonomy. We also show that combining neural named entity recognition models with our graph-based entity linking methods via multitask learning leads to improved disease recognition in the NCBI corpus.

• Abstract: The detection and normalization of diseases in biomedical texts are key biomedical natural language processing tasks. Disease names need not only be identified, but also normalized or linked to clinical taxonomies describing diseases such as MeSH. In this paper we describe deep learning methods that tackle both tasks. We train and test our methods on the known NCBI disease benchmark corpus. We propose to represent disease names by leveraging MeSH's graphical structure together with the lexical information available in the taxonomy using graph embeddings. We also show that combining neural named entity recognition models with our graph-based entity linking methods via multitask learning leads to improved disease recognition in the NCBI corpus.

• Applying BioBERT to Extract Germline Gene-Disease Associations for Building a Knowledge Graph from the Biomedical Literature [0.0]
  This paper presents SimpleGermKG, an automatic knowledge graph construction approach that connects germline genes and diseases. For the extraction of genes and diseases, we employ BioBERT, a pre-trained BERT model on biomedical corpora. For semantic relationships between articles, genes, and diseases, we implemented a part-whole relation approach. Our knowledge graph contains 297 genes, 130 diseases, and 46,747 triples.

  We propose a novel framework, namely Domain Invariant Model with Graph Convolutional Network (DIM-GCN) We first propose a Bayesian network, which explicitly decomposes the latent variables into disease-related and other disease-irrelevant parts that are provable to be disentangled from each other. To better capture the macroscopic features, we leverage the observed clinical attributes as a goal for reconstruction, via Graph Convolutional Network (GCN)

• Automatic Biomedical Term Clustering by Learning Fine-grained Term Representations [0.8154691566915505]
  State-of-the-art term embeddings leverage pretrained language models to encode terms and use synonyms and relation knowledge from knowledge graphs to guide contrastive learning. These embeddings are not sensitive to minor textual differences which leads to failure for biomedical term clustering. To alleviate this problem, we adjust the sampling strategy in pretraining term embeddings by providing dynamic hard positive and negative samples. We name our proposed method as CODER++, and it has been applied in clustering biomedical concepts in the newly released Biomedical Knowledge Graph named BIOS.

  This paper introduces the technique of contextualized word embedding to better capture the semantic meaning of each word based on its context. We pre-train two deep contextualized language models, Clinical Embeddings from Language Model (C-ELMo) and Clinical Contextual String Embeddings (C-Flair) Explicit experiments show that our models gain dramatic improvements compared to both static word embeddings and domain-generic language models.
