• Abstract summary: We are interested in outcome prediction and patient triage in hospital emergency department based on text information in chief complaints and vital signs recorded at triage. We adapt Perceiver - a modality-agnostic transformer-based model that has shown promising results in several applications. In the experimental analysis, we show that mutli-modality improves the prediction performance compared with models trained solely on text or vital signs.

• Abstract: Language modeling have shown impressive progress in generating compelling text with good accuracy and high semantic coherence. An interesting research direction is to augment these powerful models for specific applications using contextual information. In this work, we explore multi-modal language modeling for healthcare applications. We are interested in outcome prediction and patient triage in hospital emergency department based on text information in chief complaints and vital signs recorded at triage. We adapt Perceiver - a modality-agnostic transformer-based model that has shown promising results in several applications. Since vital-sign modality is represented in tabular format, we modified Perceiver position encoding to ensure permutation invariance. We evaluated the multi-modal language model for the task of diagnosis code prediction using MIMIC-IV ED dataset on 120K visits. In the experimental analysis, we show that mutli-modality improves the prediction performance compared with models trained solely on text or vital signs. We identified disease categories for which multi-modality leads to performance improvement and show that for these categories, vital signs have added predictive power. By analyzing the cross-attention layer, we show how multi-modality contributes to model predictions. This work gives interesting insights on the development of multi-modal language models for healthcare applications.

  State-of-the-art medical multi-modal large language models (med-MLLM) leverage instruction-following data in pre-training. LoGra-Med is a new multi-graph alignment algorithm that enforces triplet correlations across image modalities, conversation-based descriptions, and extended captions. Our results show LoGra-Med matches LLAVA-Med performance on 600K image-text pairs for Medical VQA and significantly outperforms it when trained on 10% of the data.

  We evaluate the publicly available, state of the art, foundational vision-language models for chest X-ray interpretation. We find that vision-language models often hallucinate with confident language, which slows down clinical interpretation. We develop an agent-based vision-language approach for report generation using CheXagent's linear probes and BioViL-T's phrase grounding tools.
