Learning to Read Chest X-Rays:Recurrent Neural Cascade Model for Automated Image Annotation (CVPR 2016)

Goals:

-Learn to read chest x-rays from an existing dataset of images and text with minimal human effort

-To generate text description about disease in image as well as their context (with pre-defined grammar, thus not multiple-instance-learning)

Approach

-Text-mining based image labeling;train CNN for image, RNN for text

-Extensive regularization (e.g.,batch-normalization, data dropout) to deal with data bias(normal vs. diseased)

-Joint image/text context vector for more composite image labeling

 

The above picture is an illustration of how joint image/text context vector is obtained. RNN's state vector (h) is initialized with the CNN image embedding (CNN(I)), and it's unrolled over the annotation sequences with the words as input. Mean-pooling is applied over the state vectors in each word of the sequence, to obtain the joint image/text vector. All RNNs share the same parameters, which are trained in the first round.

TieNet: Text-Image Embedding Network for Common Thorax Disease Classification and Reporting in Chest X-rays (CVPR 2018) Xiaosong Wang

Reading a chest X-ray image remains a challenging job for learning-oriented machine intelligence ,due to

(1).shortage of large-scale machine-learnable medical image datasets

(2).lack of techniques that can mimic the high-level reasoning of human radiologists that requires years of knowledge accumulation and professional training.

Contributions:

(1).proposed the Text-Image Embedding Network, which is a multi-purpose end-to-end trainable multi-task CNN-RNN framework

(2).show how raw report data, together with paired image, can be utilized to produce meaningful attention-based image and text representations using the proposed TieNet.

(3).outline how the developed text and image embeddings are able to boost the auto-annotation framework and achieve extremely high accuracy for chest x-ray labeling

(4).present a novel image classification framework which takes images as the sole input, but uses the paired text-image representations from training as a prior knowledge injection, in order to produce improved classification scores and preliminary report generations.

 

Datasets: ChestX-ray14, Hand-labeled, OpenI

The CNN component additionally includes a convolutional layer(transition layer) to manipulate the spatial grid size and feature dimension.

To obtain an interpretable global text and visual embedding for the purpose of classification, introduce two key enhancements in the form of the AETE and SW-GAP

AETE: Attention Encoded Text Embedding

SW-GAP: Saliecny Weighted Global Average Pooling
