Infusing Disease Knowledge into BERT for Health Question Answering, Medical Inference and Disease Name Recognition [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Knowledge of a disease includes information of various aspects of the disease, such as signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. This disease knowledge is critical for many health-related and biomedical tasks, including consumer health question answering, medical language inference and disease name recognition. While pre-trained language models like

Computational Approaches for Disease Gene Identification [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Identifying disease genes from human genome is an important and fundamental problem in biomedical research. Despite many publications of machine learning methods applied to discover new disease genes, it still remains a challenge because of the pleiotropy of genes, the limited number of confirmed disease genes among whole genome and the genetic ...
