• Abstract: Digital libraries maintain extensive collections of knowledge and need to provide effective access paths for their users. For instance, PubPharm, the specialized information service for Pharmacy in Germany, provides and develops access paths to their underlying biomedical document collection. In brief, PubPharm supports traditional keyword-based search, search for chemical structures, as well as novel graph-based discovery workflows, e.g., listing or searching for interactions between different pharmaceutical entities. This paper introduces a new search functionality, called narrative pattern mining, allowing users to explore context-relevant entities and entity interactions. We performed interviews with five domain experts to verify the usefulness of our prototype.

  We present a novel system that automatically extracts and generates informative and descriptive sentences from the biomedical corpus. Unlike previous search engines or exploration systems that retrieve unconnected passages, our system organizes descriptive sentences as a graph. We spotlight the application of our system in COVID-19 research, illustrating its utility in areas such as drug repurposing and literature curation.

  Traditional keyword-based search engines fall short in assisting users who may not be familiar with specific terminologies. We present a knowledge graph-based paper search engine for biomedical research to enhance the user experience. The system, dubbed DiscoverPath, employs Named Entity Recognition (NER) and part-of-speech (POS) tagging to extract terminologies and relationships from article abstracts to create a KG.

  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.
