Model / method: BioELX, a two-stage cross-lingual BEL framework that requires no task-specific annotated training corpora.
Problem: However, expert-annotated training data for BEL are costly, especially for low-resource languages. Moreover, many cross-lingual BEL systems rely on SapBERT-based retrievers trained on predominantly English aliases in the KB, leading to poor generalization to unseen non-English mentions and limited context-aware disambiguation.
Method:
Result: Experiments on five benchmarks (XL-BEL, EMEA, Patent, WikiMed-DE, and MedMentions) show that BioELX achieves new stateof-the-art performance
