The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

  1. BioBERT: a pre-trained biomedical language representation model for biomedical text mining (2019 · 8,311 citations)
    Biomedical literature grows faster than researchers can read it, so automatic text mining matters more each year.
  2. Can Language Models be Biomedical Knowledge Bases? (2021 · 127 citations)
    This work asks whether pre-trained language models can act as knowledge bases for expert biomedical facts, rather than the general trivia tested by LAMA.
  3. Learning Dense Representations of Phrases at Scale (2021 · 126 citations)
    DensePhrases tackles open-domain question answering as retrieval over a pre-built index of phrases. It does not run a reader model over retrieved documents at query time. Earlier phrase-retrieval systems (DenSPI, DenSPI + Sparc) relied on sparse vectors and still trailed retriever-reader pipelines. The authors ask…
  4. Look at the First Sentence: Position Bias in Question Answering (2020 · 102 citations)
    Extractive QA models usually output start and end indices of an answer span. The authors ask whether this design lets models exploit answer location instead of reading. They build deliberately skewed training sets from SQuAD in which every answer sits in the same sentence (mainly the first). When trained this way…
  5. Tree of Clarifications: Answering Ambiguous Questions with Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Models (2023 · 82 citations)
    Open-domain questions are often ambiguous: one query can admit several readings, each with its own answer.
