BERT based clinical knowledge extraction for biomedical knowledge graph construction and analysis

Background: Knowledge is evolving over time, often as a result of new discoveries or changes in the adopted methods of reasoning. Also, new facts or evidence may become available, leading to new understandings of complex phenomena. This is particularly true in the biomedical field, where scientists...
