• Abstract summary: This paper proposes EBOCA, an ontology that describes (i) biomedical domain concepts and associations between them, and (ii) evidences supporting these associations. Test data coming from a subset of DISNET and automatic association extractions from texts has been transformed to create a Knowledge Graph that can be used in real scenarios.

• Abstract: There is a large number of online documents data sources available nowadays. The lack of structure and the differences between formats are the main difficulties to automatically extract information from them, which also has a negative impact on its use and reuse. In the biomedical domain, the DISNET platform emerged to provide researchers with a resource to obtain information in the scope of human disease networks by means of large-scale heterogeneous sources. Specifically in this domain, it is critical to offer not only the information extracted from different sources, but also the evidence that supports it. This paper proposes EBOCA, an ontology that describes (i) biomedical domain concepts and associations between them, and (ii) evidences supporting these associations; with the objective of providing an schema to improve the publication and description of evidences and biomedical associations in this domain. The ontology has been successfully evaluated to ensure there are no errors, modelling pitfalls and that it meets the previously defined functional requirements. Test data coming from a subset of DISNET and automatic association extractions from texts has been transformed according to the proposed ontology to create a Knowledge Graph that can be used in real scenarios, and which has also been used for the evaluation of the presented ontology.

  Ontologies are widely used for representing domain knowledge and meta data. One straightforward solution is to integrate statistical analysis and machine learning. Numerous papers have been published on embedding, but a lack of systematic reviews hinders researchers from gaining a comprehensive understanding of this field.

  We propose a novel approach to improve an embedding-Large Language Model (embedding-LLM) of interest by infusing knowledge by a reference ontology. The linguistic information (i.e. concept synonyms and descriptions) and structural information (i.e. is-a relations) are utilized to compile a comprehensive set of concept definitions. These concept definitions are then employed to fine-tune the target embedding-LLM using a contrastive learning framework.

  Deep networks have achieved broad success in analyzing natural images, when applied to medical scans, they often fail in unexcepted situations. We investigate this challenge and focus on model sensitivity to domain shifts, such as data sampled from different hospitals or data confounded by demographic variables such as sex, race, etc, in the context of chest X-rays and skin lesion images. Taking inspiration from medical training, we propose giving deep networks a prior grounded in explicit medical knowledge communicated in natural language.
