Med-VQA

The implementation of Medical Visual Question Answering via Conditional Reasoning [ACM MM 2020]
We evaluate our proposal on VQA-RAD dataset.

Conditional Reasoning Framework

We propose QCR [Question-Conditioned Reasoning Module] and TCR [Type-Conditioned Reasoning] modules, which guide the importance selection over multimodal fusion features and learn different reasoning skills for different types of tasks separately. The detailed architecture is shown in the figure below.

Results

Our proposal achieves significantly increased accuracy in predicting answers to both closed-ended and open-ended questions, especially for open-ended questions.

Training
