"abstract": "Pretrained language models have shown success in many natural language processing tasks. Many works explore incorporating knowledge into language models. In the biomedical domain, experts have taken decades of effort on building large-scale knowledge bases. For example, the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) contains millions of entities with their synonyms and defines hundreds of relations among entities. Leveraging this knowledge can benefit a variety of downstream tasks such as named entity recognition and relation extraction. To this end, we propose KeBioLM, a biomedical pretrained language model that explicitly leverages knowledge from the UMLS knowledge bases. Specifically, we extract entities from PubMed abstracts and link them to UMLS. We then train a knowledge-aware language model that firstly applies a text-only encoding layer to learn entity representation and applies a text-entity fusion encoding to aggregate entity representation. Besides, we add two training objectives as entity detection and entity linking. Experiments on the named entity recognition and relation extraction from the BLURB benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Further analysis on a collected probing dataset shows that our model has better ability to model medical knowledge.",

Text-entity fusion encoding fuses information from tokens and knowledge from entities. Finally, two objectives as entity extraction and linking are added to learn better entity representations.

"text": "Models like ELMo (Peters et al., 2018) and BERT (Devlin et al., 2019) show the effectiveness of the paradigm of first pre-training an LM on the unlabeled text then fine-tuning the model on the downstream NLP tasks. However, direct application of the LMs pre-trained on the encyclopedia and web text usually fails on the biomedical domain, because of the distinctive terminologies and idioms. The gap between general and biomedical domains inspires the researchers to propose LMs specially tailored for the biomedical domain. BioBERT (Lee et al., 2020) is the most widely used biomedical PLM which is trained on PubMed abstracts and PMC articles. It outperforms vanilla BERT in named entity recognition, relation extraction, and question answering tasks. Jin et al. (2019) train BioELMo with PubMed abstracts, and find features extracted by BioELMo contain entity-type and relational information. Different training corpora have been used for enhancing performance of sub-domain tasks. ClinicalBERT (Alsentzer et al., 2019) , BlueBERT (Peng et al., 2019) and bio-lm (Lewis et al., 2020) utilize clinical notes MIMIC to improve clinical-related downstream tasks. SciB-ERT uses papers from the biomedical and computer science domain as training corpora with a new vocabulary. KeBioLM is trained on PubMed abstracts to adapt to PubMedrelated downstream tasks.",
