Before revision:  Our experimental results on six medical entity linking benchmarking datasets demonstrate that SapBERT outperforms many domain-specific BERT-based variants such as BioBERT, BlueBERT and PubMedBERT, achieving the state-of-the-art (SOTA) performances .
After revision:  Our experimental results on six medical entity linking (MEL), achieving a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) on six MEL benchmarking datasets. In the scientific domain, we achieve SOTA even without task-specific supervision. With substantial improvement over various domain-specific BERT-based variants such as BioBERT, BlueBERT and PubMedBERT, achieving the state-of-the-art (SOTA) performances .
