Resource-efficient LLMs show promise for biomedical ontology generation

A new paper introduces MeSH-Rel-4K, a dataset of 4,000 semantic relationships from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to evaluate resource-efficient Large Language Models (LLMs) in biomedical ontology generation. The study benchmarks five open-source LLMs with up to 9 billion parameters, testing standard prompting, Chain-of-Thought, and fine-tuning adaptation strategies. Results show that fine-tuning significantly improves performance, increasing the average F1-score by 34.1 percentage points, demonstrating an effective automated method for creating specialized biomedical ontologies. AI

IMPACT Fine-tuning smaller LLMs effectively for specialized biomedical ontologies could accelerate knowledge organization in the field.

    Benchmarking Resource-Efficient LLMs for Research Topic Ontology Generation in the Biomedical Field

    arXiv:2607.17902v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Knowledge Organization Systems like Ontologies and taxonomies are fundamental for structuring scientific knowledge, yet their manual curation presents a persistent bottleneck in knowledge management. While Large Language Models (L…
