Over 55% of author names in PubMed are ambiguous: the same name is shared by different individual researchers. This poses significant challenges on precise literature retrieval for author name queries, a common behavior in biomedical literature search. In response, we present a comprehensive dataset of disambiguated authors. Specifically, we complement the automatic PubMed Computed Authors algorithm with the latest ORCID data for improved accuracy.

Information retrieval (IR) is essential in biomedical knowledge acquisition and clinical decision support. While recent progress has shown that language model encoders perform better semantic retrieval, training such models requires abundant query-article annotations that are difficult to obtain in biomedicine. As a result, most biomedical IR systems only conduct lexical matching.

Information retrieval (IR) is an important step in biomedical knowledge discovery and clinical decision support (Ely et al. 2005, Gopalakrishnan et al. 2019). However, most IR systems in biomedicine are keyword-based, which will miss articles that are semantically relevant but have no lexical overlap with the input query.
