Automatic radiology reporting assists radiologists in diagnosing abnormalities in radiology images, where grounding the automatic diagnosis with abnormality locations is important for the report interpretability. However, existing supervised-learning methods could lead to learning the superficial st…
Multimodal learning requires integrating heterogeneous modalities, such as structured records, visual imagery, and temporal signals. It has been revealed that this heterogeneity causes modality encoders to converge at different rates, making the multimodal learning imbalanced. We empirically observe…
Vision-language models have been explored for radiology report generation with promising results. Yet, uncertainty elaborated in findings and the reasoning process for reaching clinical impressions are seldom explicitly modeled, reducing the clinical accuracy and trustworthiness of the generated rep…
Longitudinal multimodal data, including electronic health records (EHR) and sequential chest X-rays (CXRs), is critical for modeling disease progression, yet remains underutilized due to two key challenges: (1) redundancy in consecutive CXR sequences, where static anatomical regions dominate over cl…
Integrating multi-modal clinical data, such as electronic health records (EHR) and chest X-ray images (CXR), is particularly beneficial for clinical prediction tasks. However, in a temporal setting, multi-modal data are often inherently asynchronous. EHR can be continuously collected but CXR is gene…
The combination of electronic health records (EHR) and medical images is crucial for clinicians in making diagnoses and forecasting prognoses. Strategically fusing these two data modalities has great potential to improve the accuracy of machine learning models in clinical prediction tasks. However,…
Existing tensor factorization methods assume that the input tensor follows some specific distribution (i.e. Poisson, Bernoulli, and Gaussian), and solve the factorization by minimizing some empirical loss functions defined based on the corresponding distribution. However, it suffers from several dra…
