Researchers have developed a new framework to systematically compare strategies for aligning biomedical texts with knowledge graphs. This framework utilizes a contrastive learning objective with frozen text encoder and KG embedding models, learning only a lightweight projection between their spaces. A new corpus, CTD-Align, was created with over 22,000 document-triple pairs to evaluate these strategies. The study found that triple composition and training direction significantly impact alignment performance, while text encoder choice and hard-negatives sampling have minimal effect. The most effective approach involved projecting text into the KG space using a linear head over concatenated subject, predicate, and object embeddings. AI
