I’m happy to share the published version of our ConVIRT algorithm, appearing in #MLHC2022 (PMLR 182). In 2020, this was a pioneering work in contrastive learning of perception by using naturally occurring paired text. Unfortunately, things took a winding path from there. 🧵👇 
The paper (Contrastive Learning of Medical Visual Representations from Paired Images and Text, @yuhaozhangx @hjian42 Yasuhide Miura @chrmanning & @curtlanglotz) shows much better unsupervised visual representation learning using paired text versus vision alone (SimCLR, MoCo v2)
However, sometimes you don’t get lucky with conference reviewing—even when at a highly privileged institution. We couldn’t interest reviewers at ICLR2020 or ICCV2021. I think the fact that we showed gains in radiology (x-rays) not general vision seemed to dampen interest….
