UMCR: Universal Medical Concept Recognition through Guideline Integration and Agentic Linking
Medical Concept Recognition is the task of extracting and grounding spans in medical text to entries in a standard ontology. Current methods are generally developed towards a single ontology and source text type (clinical notes, drug labels, etc.) The central challenge is therefore to build methods that adapt to any target ontology without requiring ontology-specific retraining. More recent approaches like REAL and AutoPCR make direct use of Large Language Models and can theoretically adapt to any ontology choice but suffer from a lack of generalization. We propose UMCR, a pipeline that allows extraction and linking to any target ontology using any source text variety, utilizing direct gu...
