The Medicine of Information: Retrieval-Augmented Augmentation

Engage with Graph-Based Retriever Captures the Long Tail of Biomedical Knowledge, which investigates how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can improve biomedical knowledge accessibility within LLMs.

Advancements in Knowledge Accessibility:

• Biomedical Knowledge Graph: Overcomes biases towards frequently seen information.
• Hybrid Retrieval Model: Combines knowledge graphs with embedding similarity for enhanced retrieval.
• Precision & Recall: Nearly doubles performance, unleashing potential improvements for question-answering.

The research addresses a pervasive issue in biomedical literature—information overload—and offers a novel retrieval paradigm. It presents a clear avenue for further exploration into how AI can better assist medical professionals and researchers in effortlessly accessing the wealth of biomedical knowledge available.
