AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing biomedical retrieval systems neglect the essential relationships between entities when processing complex named entities, leading to inaccurate retrieval, ambiguity, and missing information, making it difficult to meet the requirements of accuracy and rigor in knowledge output in biomedical scenarios.

Method used

A medical question-answering retrieval method based on entity inverted index and semantic vector fusion is adopted. A standardized entity set is generated through entity linking and standardization. Combining entity overlap and semantic vector retrieval, the RRF algorithm is used for multi-way ranking integration to ensure the accuracy of retrieval results.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the retrieval accuracy and generation quality of question-answering systems in the biomedical field, corrects the ambiguity bias of semantic vectors when dealing with abbreviations, synonyms, or similar terms, and ensures the certainty and accuracy of retrieval results.

Abstract

The application discloses a medical question and answer retrieval method based on entity inverted index and semantic vector fusion, and comprises the following steps: step 1, medical knowledge base preprocessing is carried out to obtain a standardized entity set; step 2, symbol retrieval is carried out based on entity coincidence degree to obtain the ranking position in the symbol dimension; step 3, semantic retrieval is carried out based on vector embedding to obtain the ranking position in the semantic dimension; step 4, the results of the symbol retrieval and the semantic retrieval are integrated by multi-path ranking based on the RRF algorithm; and step 5, a large model enhanced medical question and answer is set. The application improves the accuracy of biomedical knowledge answering.
