Medical vision-language pre-training (VLP) offers significant potential for advancing medical image understanding by leveraging paired image-report data. However, existing methods are limited by False Negatives (FaNe) induced by semantically similar texts and insufficient fine-grained cross-modal al
Contrastive learning has achieved remarkable success in self-supervised representation learning, often guided by information-theoretic objectives such as mutual information maximization. Motivated by the limitations of static augmentations and rigid invariance constraints, we propose IE-CL (Incremen…
