Clinically Accurate Chest X-Ray Report Generation

PyTorch Implementation of Clinically Accurate Chest X-Ray Report Generation Paper

Implementation based on the following repos:

1. https://github.com/fawazsammani/knowing-when-to-look-adaptive-attention
2. https://github.com/ZexinYan/Medical-Report-Generation
3. https://github.com/ZexinYan/im2p-pytorch

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies using conda environment file env.yml

2. Download images and reports from https://openi.nlm.nih.gov/faq

3. Edit in preprocessing.py the following line to point to your data:

ImagesReports('./data/nlm/images', './data/nlm/reports', device=device, transform=preprocess)

4. Train: python training.py

To Do

• Add pretrained embedder to word decoder (*pretrained on existing data)
• Add loss functions
• word encoder should output a vector representing hot encoding of word
• refactor decoder into sentenceRNN and wordRNN
• clean up code names
• create clean env
• no teacher forcing implementation wordRNN
• add validation section
• add testing section
• reinforcement learning section
• change to receive arguments from commandline

Thoughts

• in training, should loss function look at embedding instead of hot encoding for error?
