We assess the current data-centric and model-centric landscapes through four tasks for colonoscopic scene perception. To embrace the coming multimodal era, we establish three foundational initiatives: a large-scale multimodal instruction tuning dataset ColonINST, a colonoscopy-designed multimodal language model ColonGPT, and a multimodal benchmark.

• Abstract: Colonoscopy is currently one of the most sensitive screening methods for colorectal cancer. This study investigates the frontiers of intelligent colonoscopy techniques and their prospective implications for multimodal medical applications. With this goal, we begin by assessing the current data-centric and model-centric landscapes through four tasks for colonoscopic scene perception, including classification, detection, segmentation, and vision-language understanding. This assessment enables us to identify domain-specific challenges and reveals that multimodal research in colonoscopy remains open for further exploration. To embrace the coming multimodal era, we establish three foundational initiatives: a large-scale multimodal instruction tuning dataset ColonINST, a colonoscopy-designed multimodal language model ColonGPT, and a multimodal benchmark. To facilitate ongoing monitoring of this rapidly evolving field, we provide a public website for the latest updates: https://github.com/ai4colonoscopy/IntelliScope.

  ColonTCN is a learning-based architecture that employs custom temporal convolutional blocks to efficiently capture temporal dependencies for the temporal segmentation of colonoscopy videos. ColonTCN achieves state-of-the-art performance in classification accuracy while maintaining a low parameter count when evaluated. We believe that the proposed open-access benchmark and the ColonTCN approach represent a significant advancement in the temporal segmentation of colonoscopy procedures.

  Cancer prognosis is a critical task that involves predicting patient outcomes and survival rates. Previous studies have integrated diverse data modalities, such as clinical notes, medical images, and genomic data, leveraging their complementary information. Existing approaches face two major limitations. First, they struggle to incorporate newly arrived data with varying distributions into training, such as patient records from different hospitals. Second, most multimodal integration methods rely on simplistic concatenation or task-specific pipelines, which fail to capture the complex interdependencies across modalities.

  We present a method for automatic semantic parsing of colonoscopy videos. The method uses a novel DL multi-label temporal segmentation model trained in supervised and unsupervised regimes. We evaluate the accuracy of the method on a test set of over 300 annotated colonoscopy videos, and use ablation to explore the relative importance of various method's components.

We apply our objective in four Transformer-based architectures: Contextual Document Vectors, Bi-, Poly- and Cross-encoders. We report that CAPR outperforms strong baselines in the retrieval of domain-specific passages and effectively generalizes across rule-based and human-labeled passages.

  Intraoperative tracking of laparoscopic instruments is often a prerequisite for computer and robotic-assisted interventions. Our challenge was based on a surgical data set comprising 10,040 annotated images acquired from a total of 30 surgical procedures. The results confirm the initial hypothesis, namely that algorithm performance degrades with an increasing domain gap.
