3.3 Knowledge Graph and Question Answering
The knowledge graph is a structured knowledge representation used to store and organize knowledge. It consists of a network of entities and their relationships. Knowledge graph have extensive applications in the field of biomedicine, it provides a way to organize and integrate diverse biomedical data from various sources, enabling researchers to explore complex relationships and make new discoveries. Biomedical knowledge question answering utilizes the biomedical knowledge graph and NLP techniques to enable computers to answer natural language questions related to biomedicine or healthcare, assisting doctors and researchers in more efficiently accessing and applying biomedical knowledge.
In 2020, CCKS released the task of construction and question-answering of COVID-19 knowledge graph [56]. It defined four subtasks, including: 1) inference of entity types in the COVID-19 knowledge graph, 2) prediction of hierarchical relationships between entities, 3) link prediction, such as targeted effects of drugs and viruses or protein interactions, and 4) knowledge question answering: constructing question-answering data focused on specific subjects such as health, medicine, and disease prevention and control related to COVID-19. In 2021, CCKS released the task for link prediction in a multi-level knowledge graph of phenotypes, drugs, and molecules, aims to predict seven relationship categories [57]. In 2019, CCIR organized a task that provided a medical event graph built with EHRs, along with a series of natural language questions, requiring participants to build systems that can automatically return results for the given questions.
