What is it about?
This paper discusses how deep learning models can be made more effective for extracting biomedical relations—like how drugs interact with diseases or other drugs—from scientific texts. By considering the type of publication, specific keywords (MeSH), and how often certain relations are mentioned in the literature, we suggest ways to improve the accuracy and reliability of these models.

Why is it important?
Current models for extracting biomedical relations can struggle with accuracy, especially when trying to analyze different types of scientific articles. Our approach suggests refining these models by taking into account publication types and keywords that are already manually assigned to papers. This could make the process of identifying critical biomedical relationships more precise and reliable, which is crucial for advancing research in healthcare and pharmaceuticals.
Perspectives
From my perspective, the real opportunity in this work lies in bridging the gap between deep learning models and the rich manual annotations already present in biomedical literature. By incorporating MeSH keywords and focusing on frequently reported relations, we can align machine learning more closely with human-curated knowledge. This has the potential to revolutionize how we discover important connections in biomedical research, making the process faster and more accurate.
