• Abstract summary: A neurosymbolic approach of multi-hop reasoning on knowledge graphs has been shown to produce transparent explanations. In this paper, the approach is explored for drug discovery to draw solid conclusions on its applicability. The approach is found to outperform the best baselines by 21.7% on average whilst producing novel, biologically relevant explanations.

• Abstract: For Artificial Intelligence to have a greater impact in biology and medicine, it is crucial that recommendations are both accurate and transparent. In other domains, a neurosymbolic approach of multi-hop reasoning on knowledge graphs has been shown to produce transparent explanations. However, there is a lack of research applying it to complex biomedical datasets and problems. In this paper, the approach is explored for drug discovery to draw solid conclusions on its applicability. For the first time, we systematically apply it to multiple biomedical datasets and recommendation tasks with fair benchmark comparisons. The approach is found to outperform the best baselines by 21.7% on average whilst producing novel, biologically relevant explanations.

  We aim to develop flexible identification conditions for multimodal data. We establish identifiability guarantees for each latent component, extending the subspace identification results from prior work. Our key theoretical ingredient is the structural sparsity of the causal connections among distinct modalities.

  Large language models (LLMs) are transforming the way information is retrieved with vast amounts of knowledge being summarized and presented. LLMs are prone to highlight the most frequently seen pieces of information from the training set and to neglect the rare ones. We introduce a novel information-retrieval method that leverages a knowledge graph to downsample these clusters and mitigate the information overload problem.

  The Interaction between Drugs and Targets (DTI) in human body plays a crucial role in biomedical science and applications. As millions of papers come out every year in the biomedical domain, automatically discovering DTI knowledge from literature becomes an urgent demand in the industry. We explore the first end-to-end solution for this task by using generative approaches. We regard the DTI triplets as a sequence and use a Transformer-based model to directly generate them without using the detailed annotations of entities and relations.
