• Abstract: In this report a framework for the collection of clinical images and data for use when training and validating artificial intelligence (AI) tools is described. The report contains not only information about the collection of the images and clinical data, but the ethics and information governance processes to consider ensuring the data is collected safely, and the infrastructure and agreements required to allow for the sharing of data with other groups. A key characteristic of the main collection framework described here is that it can enable automated and ongoing collection of datasets to ensure that the data is up-to-date and representative of current practice. This is important in the context of training and validating AI tools as it is vital that datasets have a mix of older cases with long term follow-up such that the clinical outcome is as accurate as possible, and current data. Validations run on old data will provide findings and conclusions relative to the status of the imaging units when that data was generated. It is important that a validation dataset can assess the AI tools with data that it would see if deployed and active now. Other types of collection frameworks, which do not follow a fully automated approach, are also described. Whilst the fully automated method is recommended for large scale, long-term image collection, there may be reasons to start data collection using semi-automated methods and indications of how to do that are provided.

  We propose a scheme to be implemented by autonomous edge nodes concerning their identifications of the appropriate data to be migrated to particular locations within the infrastructure. Our objective is to equip nodes with the capability to comprehend the access patterns relating to offloaded data-driven tasks. It is evident that these tasks depend on the processing of data that is absent from the original hosting nodes. To infer these data intervals, we utilize an ensemble approach that integrates a statistically oriented model and a machine learning framework.

  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.

  We propose an alternative approach to precisely and robustly extract key information from document images. We explicitly model entities as semantic points, i.e., center points of entities are enriched with semantic information describing the attributes and relationships of different entities. The proposed method can achieve significantly enhanced performance on entity labeling and linking, compared with previous state-of-the-art models.

We demonstrate that data from a related domain can be leveraged to achieve state-of-the-art performance.
