• Abstract: Recognizing biomedical concepts in the text is vital for ontology refinement, knowledge graph construction, and concept relationship discovery. However, traditional concept recognition methods, relying on explicit mention identification, often fail to capture complex concepts not explicitly stated in the text. To overcome this limitation, we introduce MA-COIR, a framework that reformulates concept recognition as an indexing-recognition task. By assigning semantic search indexes (ssIDs) to concepts, MA-COIR resolves ambiguities in ontology entries and enhances recognition efficiency. Using a pretrained BART-based model fine-tuned on small datasets, our approach reduces computational requirements to facilitate adoption by domain experts. Furthermore, we incorporate large language models (LLMs)-generated queries and synthetic data to improve recognition in low-resource settings. Experimental results on three scenarios (CDR, HPO, and HOIP) highlight the effectiveness of MA-COIR in recognizing both explicit and implicit concepts without the need for mention-level annotations during inference, advancing ontology-driven concept recognition in biomedical domain applications. Our code and constructed data are available at https://github.com/sl-633/macoir-master.

  Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have been proposed to address the 'black-box' problem of deep neural networks. We propose a novel CBM approach -- called Discover-then-Name-CBM (DN-CBM) -- that inverts the typical paradigm. Our concept extraction strategy is efficient, since it is agnostic to the downstream task, and uses concepts already known to the model.

  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.

Notably, MLIP surpasses state-of-the-art methods even with limited annotated data, highlighting the potential of multimodal pre-training in advancing medical representation learning.
