Medicine Domain Ontologies

Overview

The domain of medicine encompasses the structured representation and systematic organization of clinical knowledge, including the classification and interrelation of diseases, pharmacological agents, therapeutic interventions, and biomedical data. This domain is pivotal for advancing healthcare research, facilitating interoperability among medical information systems, and enhancing decision-making processes through precise and comprehensive knowledge representation. By employing ontologies, this domain ensures a standardized and semantically rich framework that supports the integration and analysis of complex biomedical information.

Dataset Files

Each ontology directory contains the following files:

1. <ontology_id>.<format> - The original ontology file
2. term_typings.json - A Dataset of term-to-type mappings
3. taxonomies.json - Dataset of taxonomic relations
4. non_taxonomic_relations.json - Dataset of non-taxonomic relations
5. <ontology_id>.rst - Documentation describing the ontology

Usage

These datasets are intended for ontology learning research and applications. Here's how to use them with OntoLearner:

First of all, install the OntoLearner library via PiP:

pip install ontolearner

How to load an ontology or LLM4OL Paradigm tasks datasets?

from ontolearner import BTO

ontology = BTO()

# Load an ontology.
ontology.load()  

# Load (or extract) LLMs4OL Paradigm tasks datasets
data = ontology.extract()

How use the loaded dataset for LLM4OL Paradigm task settings?

from ontolearner import BTO, LearnerPipeline, train_test_split

ontology = BTO()
ontology.load() 
data = ontology.extract()

# Split into train and test sets
train_data, test_data = train_test_split(data, test_size=0.2)

# Create a learning pipeline (for RAG-based learning)
pipeline = LearnerPipeline(
    task = "term-typing",  # Other options: "taxonomy-discovery" or "non-taxonomy-discovery"
    retriever_id = "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2", 
    llm_id = "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1",
    hf_token = "your_huggingface_token"  # Only needed for gated models
)

# Train and evaluate
results, metrics = pipeline.fit_predict_evaluate(
    train_data=train_data,
    test_data=test_data,
    top_k=3,
    test_limit=10
)
