Outline

This paper aims to accelerate the extraction of structured information from unstructured data (e.g., free-text documents, scientific literature) to enhance scientific discovery and knowledge integration. While large-scale language models (LLMs) have demonstrated excellent performance on a variety of natural language processing tasks, they are less efficient in certain domains requiring specialized knowledge and nuanced understanding, and suffer from a lack of transferability across tasks and domains. To address these challenges, we present StructSense, a modular, task-independent, open-source framework that leverages domain-specific symbolic knowledge embedded in ontologies to more effectively explore complex domain content. StructSense integrates a feedback loop for iterative improvement via self-assessing judgers and a human intervention mechanism for quality assurance and validation. Through application to a neuroscience information extraction task, we demonstrate that StructSense overcomes two limitations: domain sensitivity and lack of cross-task generalization.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
A novel approach to address domain sensitivity and cross-task transferability issues in LLM-based structured information extraction.
Enhancing the performance of LLM and expanding its applicability to specialized fields through the use of ontology-based knowledge.
Improving quality control and reliability through self-evaluation and human intervention mechanisms.
Increased research and development efficiency by providing a modular, task-independent, open-source framework.
Limitations:
Further validation is needed to determine the generalizability of the proposed framework to other domains and tasks.
The difficulty and cost of developing and managing ontology.
Complete automation may be difficult as there are parts that require human intervention.
Possible degradation of generalization performance due to the use of ontologies biased towards specific domains.
