• Abstract summary: Building AI models with trustworthiness is important especially in regulated areas such as healthcare. Previous work uses convolutional neural networks as the backbone architecture, which has shown to be prone to over-caution and overconfidence in making decisions. We propose a feature learning approach using Vision Transformers, which use an attention-based mechanism.

• Abstract: Building AI models with trustworthiness is important especially in regulated areas such as healthcare. In tackling COVID-19, previous work uses convolutional neural networks as the backbone architecture, which has shown to be prone to over-caution and overconfidence in making decisions, rendering them less trustworthy -- a crucial flaw in the context of medical imaging. In this study, we propose a feature learning approach using Vision Transformers, which use an attention-based mechanism, and examine the representation learning capability of Transformers as a new backbone architecture for medical imaging. Through the task of classifying COVID-19 chest radiographs, we investigate into whether generalization capabilities benefit solely from Vision Transformers' architectural advances. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations are conducted on the trustworthiness of the models, through the use of "trust score" computation and a visual explainability technique. We conclude that the attention-based feature learning approach is promising in building trustworthy deep learning models for healthcare.

  The scarcity of publicly available medical images has led contemporary algorithms to depend on pretrained models grounded on a large set of natural images. A significant em domain discrepancy exists between natural and medical images, which causes AI models to exhibit heightened em vulnerability to adversarial attacks. This paper proposes a em domain assimilation approach that introduces texture and color adaptation into transfer learning, followed by a texture preservation component to suppress undesired distortion.

  We propose a novel framework leveraging domain-specific medical knowledge as guiding signals to integrate language information into the visual domain through image-text contrastive learning. Our model includes global contrastive learning with our designed divergence encoder, local token-knowledge-patch alignment contrastive learning, and knowledge-guided category-level contrastive learning with expert knowledge. Notably, MLIP surpasses state-of-the-art methods even with limited annotated data, highlighting the potential of multimodal pre-training in advancing medical representation learning.
