• Abstract summary: Growing evidence suggests that social determinants of health (SDoH) affect individuals' risks of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. This study presents a novel, automated framework to mine SDoH knowledge from extensive literature and integrate it with AD-related biological entities. Our framework shows promise for enhancing knowledge discovery in AD and can be generalized to other SDoH-related research areas.

• Abstract: Growing evidence suggests that social determinants of health (SDoH), a set of nonmedical factors, affect individuals' risks of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. Nevertheless, the etiological mechanisms underlying such relationships remain largely unclear, mainly due to difficulties in collecting relevant information. This study presents a novel, automated framework that leverages recent advancements of large language model (LLM) and natural language processing techniques to mine SDoH knowledge from extensive literature and integrate it with AD-related biological entities extracted from the general-purpose knowledge graph PrimeKG. Utilizing graph neural networks, we performed link prediction tasks to evaluate the resultant SDoH-augmented knowledge graph. Our framework shows promise for enhancing knowledge discovery in AD and can be generalized to other SDoH-related research areas, offering a new tool for exploring the impact of social determinants on health outcomes.

  Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a challenging disorder to study due to its complex symptomatology and diverse contributing factors. To explore how we can gain deeper insights on this topic, we performed a network analysis on a comprehensive knowledge graph (KG) of ADHD. The analysis, including k-core techniques, identified critical nodes and relationships that are central to understanding the disorder.

  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.
