Domain knowledge

As explained in Knowledge Graphs and LLMs in Action

Specialized knowledge and contextual understanding of a particular scientific or professional domain.

Domain knowledge supplies the specialized context needed to make intelligent systems accurate, explainable, and useful in scientific or professional settings. It grounds large language model responses, supports knowledge-graph design, and helps translate analytical results into actionable interpretations. section 1.0 section 4.3.2

Use domain knowledge to:

  • Select and validate graph features, metrics, relationships, and pruning decisions for a specific machine-learning task. section 10.4
  • Interpret quantitative pathway rankings in their biological and clinical context rather than treating scores as conclusions. section 4.3.2
  • Refine established knowledge bases through expert feedback and use them to constrain advisory systems. section 2.2.3

Biomedical pathway analysis

An LLM interprets celiac-disease pathway results by connecting T-cell costimulation, tolerance induction, and glycoprotein regulation to disease mechanisms and clinical research implications. section 4.3.2

How Knowledge Graphs and LLMs in Action covers it

How deep it goes
Applies expertise to interpretation, feature selection, validation, and knowledge-base refinement without detailing formal expertise elicitation.
Examples
Uses celiac-disease pathway analysis, DWPC feature engineering, established ontologies, and expert-refined knowledge bases.
What you can do after
Apply it to select interpretable features, validate analytical results, and produce contextually grounded recommendations.
How it connects
Connects knowledge graphs, large language models, feature engineering, knowledge acquisition, reasoning, and expert feedback.
