Background
- Research interests focus on Biomedical Natural Language Processing (BioNLP)
- Exploring the nature of biomedical text and improving modeling for BioNLP tasks
- Technical aims include extracting biomedical information (e.g., entity relations) from text and building knowledge graphs
- Interested in scalable language models (e.g., distillation) to cover the entire MEDLINE corpus
- Exploring graph ML (including GNNs) with BioNLP-derived knowledge graphs to infer novel biomedical insights
