Building a highly accurate predictive model for these tasks usually requires a large number of manually annotated labels and pixel regions (bounding boxes) of abnormalities. However, it is expensive to acquire such annotations, especially the bounding boxes. Recently, contrastive learning has shown strong promise in leveraging unlabeled natural images to produce highly generalizable and discriminative features. However, extending its power to the medical image domain is under-explored and highly non-trivial, since medical images are much less amendable to data augmentations. In contrast, their prior knowledge, as well as radiomic features, is often crucial. To bridge this gap, we propose an end-to-end semi-supervised knowledge-augmented contrastive learning framework, that simultaneously performs disease classification and localization tasks. The key knob of our framework is a unique positive sampling approach tailored for the medical images, by seamlessly integrating radiomic features as a knowledge augmentation. Specifically, we first apply an image encoder to classify the chest X-rays and to generate the image features. We next leverage Grad-CAM to highlight the crucial (abnormal) regions for chest X-rays (even when unannotated), from which we extract radiomic features. The radiomic features are then passed through another dedicated encoder to act as the positive sample for the image features generated from the same chest X-ray. In this way, our framework constitutes a feedback loop for image and radiomic features to mutually reinforce each other. Their contrasting yields knowledge-augmented representations that are both robust and interpretable. Extensive experiments on the NIH Chest X-ray dataset demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing baselines in both classification and localization tasks.</p>","PeriodicalId":73325,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision.

Such challenges range from spurious associations between variables in medical studies to the bias of race in gender or face recognition systems. Controlling for all types of biases in the dataset curation stage is cumbersome and sometimes impossible. The alternative is to use the available data and build models incorporating fair representation learning. In this paper, we propose such a model based on adversarial training with two competing objectives to learn features that have (1) maximum discriminative power with respect to the task and (2) minimal statistical mean dependence with the protected (bias) variable(s). Our approach does so by incorporating a new adversarial loss function that encourages a vanished correlation between the bias and the learned features. We apply our method to synthetic data, medical images (containing task bias), and a dataset for gender classification (containing dataset bias). Our results show that the learned features by our method not only result in superior prediction performance but also are unbiased.</p>","PeriodicalId":73325,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision.

While we strive to improve recognition performance, it remains difficult to identify which object is of interest to the user; the object may not even be included in the frame due to challenges in camera aiming without visual feedback. Also, gaze information, commonly used to infer the area of interest in egocentric vision, is often not dependable. However, blind users often tend to include their hand either interacting with the object that they wish to recognize or simply placing it in proximity for better camera aiming. We propose localization models that leverage the presence of the hand as the contextual information for priming the center area of the object of interest. In our approach, hand segmentation is fed to either the entire localization network or its last convolutional layers. Using egocentric datasets from sighted and blind individuals, we show that the hand-priming achieves higher precision than other approaches, such as fine-tuning, multi-class, and multi-task learning, which also encode hand-object interactions in localization.</p>","PeriodicalId":73325,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision.
