Abstract:Benefiting from the rapid development of information technology and the widespread adoption of medical information systems, a vast amount of medical knowledge has been accumulated in medical databases, including patient clinical treatment events and medical expert consensus. It is crucial to extract knowledge from these medical facts and effectively manage and utilize them, which can advance the automation and intelligence of diagnosis and treatment. Knowledge graphs, as a novel knowledge representation tool, can effectively mine and organize information from abundant medical facts and have received extensive attention in the medical field. However, existing medical knowledge graphs often suffer from limitations such as small scale, numerous restrictions, poor scalability, and so on, leading to a limited ability to express knowledge from medical facts. To address these issues, this proposes a bilayer medical knowledge graph architecture and employs information extraction techniques on both English patient clinical treatment events and Chinese medical expert consensus to construct a billion-scale medical knowledge graph that is cross-lingual, multimodal, dynamically updated, and highly scalable, aiming to provide more accurate, intelligent medical services.
