TranSQ

MICCAI 22 accepted paper TranSQ: Transformer-based Semantic Query for Medical Report Generation presents a method for generating medical reports using semantic queries.

Step 1: Pre-process

Run the following scripts in ./preprocess: data_preprocess.py, generate_CE.py, and generate_sentence_gallery.py to obtain preprocessed data, semantic query category initialization, and build a sentence retrieval library.

Step 2: Train/Evaluation

Modify the transq/config.py configuration file and run the run.py script (refer to ./model/README.md for obtaining pre-trained models). For example:

python run.py with train_mimic_vit

Step 3: Post-process & Evaluate

  1. Test the trained model on the training set to gather data for averaging the positional order of semantic vectors.
  2. Run the evaluation/NLG_eval/test_from_json.py script to calculate the average positional order of the mentioned sentences in the training set results. Perform a re-ranking of the test set results and compute the final metrics.

Note: Since there are slight differences between IU X-ray and MIMIC-CXR (different image numbers), we implemented the two datasets with two separate projects for convenience, and the main branch is for MIMIC-CXR.
