OntologyAligner pairs ontology-aware retrieval with LLM reranking for biomedical normalization
A new arXiv paper presents OntologyAligner, a method for mapping free-text biomedical phrases to standardized ontology concepts. It combines a retrieval stage aligned with the ontology's structure with a reranking step in which a large language model uses hierarchy cues to separate closely related candidates. The work is announced in cs.AI with a cross-listing in cs.CL.
