• Abstract: Self-supervised learning methods based on data augmentations, such as SimCLR, BYOL, or DINO, allow obtaining semantically meaningful representations of image datasets and are widely used prior to supervised fine-tuning. A recent self-supervised learning method, $t$-SimCNE, uses contrastive learning to directly train a 2D representation suitable for visualisation. When applied to natural image datasets, $t$-SimCNE yields 2D visualisations with semantically meaningful clusters. In this work, we used $t$-SimCNE to visualise medical image datasets, including examples from dermatology, histology, and blood microscopy. We found that increasing the set of data augmentations to include arbitrary rotations improved the results in terms of class separability, compared to data augmentations used for natural images. Our 2D representations show medically relevant structures and can be used to aid data exploration and annotation, improving on common approaches for data visualisation.

  This paper demonstrates that spatial information can be used to learn interpretable representations in medical images using Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) We establish a self-supervised objective that creates a latent representation capable of capturing its location in the physical realm. We show that our method can efficiently learn representations that capture the underlying structure of the data and can be used to transfer to a downstream classification task.

  This paper explores training medical vision-language models (VLMs) where the visual and language inputs are embedded into a common space. We explore several candidate methods to improve low-data performance, including adapting generic pre-trained models to novel image and text domains. Using text-to-image retrieval as a benchmark, we evaluate the performance of these methods with variable sized training datasets of paired chest X-rays and radiological reports.
