Interpreting this data at scale is essential for improving clinical care workflows and accelerating clinical research. With its complex semantics, biomedical text poses additional challenges in vision-language modelling, and previous work has used insufficiently adapted models that lack domain-specific language understanding. In this study, we show that principled textual semantic modelling can substantially improve contrastive learning in biomedical vision-language processing (VLP). We release a language model (<a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/cxr-bert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CXR-BERT<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>) that achieves state-of-the-art results in radiology natural language inference through its improved vocabulary and novel language pretraining objective. Furthermore, we propose a self-supervised joint VLP approach (<a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/hi-ml.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/multimodal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BioViL<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>) with a focus on better text modelling. It establishes new state-of-the-art results on a wide range of publicly available benchmarks, in part by leveraging our novel domain-specific language model. As part of this study, a new dataset (<a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/ms-cxr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MS-CXR<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>) is released to facilitate the study of complex semantic modelling in biomedical VLP, which includes locally aligned phrase grounding annotations by radiologists. A broad evaluation, including on this new dataset, shows that our contrastive learning approach outperforms prior methods in segmentation tasks, despite only using a global-alignment objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill-github\"><a data-bi-type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/hi-ml\/tree\/main\/hi-ml-multimodal\">Download HI-ML<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a data-bi-type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/research\/publication\/making-the-most-of-text-semantics-to-improve-biomedical-vision-language-processing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the paper<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"border-bottom border-top border-gray-300 mt-5 mb-5 msr-promo text-center text-md-left alignwide\" data-bi-aN=\"promo\" data-bi-id=\"1002645\">\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<p class=\"msr-promo__label text-gray-800 text-center text-uppercase\">\n\t\t<span class=\"px-4 bg-white display-inline-block font-weight-semibold small\">Spotlight: AI-POWERED EXPERIENCE<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"row pt-3 pb-4 align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"msr-promo__media col-12 col-md-5\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"bg-gray-300 display-block\" href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/research-copilot\/?OCID=msr_researchforum_Copilot_MCR_Blog_Promo\" aria-label=\"Microsoft research copilot experience\" data-bi-cN=\"Microsoft research copilot experience\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-100 display-block\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MSR-Chat-Promo.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"msr-promo__content p-3 px-5 col-12 col-md\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h4\">Microsoft research copilot experience<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"microsoft-research-copilot-experience\" class=\"large\">Discover more about research at Microsoft through our AI-powered experience<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-buttons justify-content-center justify-content-md-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/research-copilot\/?OCID=msr_researchforum_Copilot_MCR_Blog_Promo\" aria-describedby=\"microsoft-research-copilot-experience\" class=\"btn btn-brand glyph-append glyph-append-chevron-right\" data-bi-cN=\"Microsoft research copilot experience\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart now\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!--\/.msr-promo__content-->\n\t<\/div><!--\/.msr-promo__inner-wrap-->\n\t<\/div><!--\/.msr-promo-->\n\t\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-ai-happens-podcast-a-conversation-with-ai4science-senior-director-bonnie-kruft\">How AI Happens podcast: A conversation with AI4Science Senior Director Bonnie Kruft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s AI4Science Senior Director <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/research\/people\/bonniekruft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bonnie Kruft<\/a> was interviewed for a recent <a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/howaihappens.com\/episodes\/microsofts-ai-for-science-senior-director-bonnie-kruft-jMreBiWq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">podcast<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> in the \u201c<em>How AI Happens<\/em>\u201d series.
