Query: Multi-Modal Multi-Instance Learning for Retinal Disease Recognition   This paper attacks an emerging challenge of multi-modal retinal disease
recognition. Given a multi-modal case consisting of a color fundus photo (CFP)
and an array of OCT B-scan images acquired during an eye examination, we aim to
build a deep neural network that recognizes multiple vision-threatening
diseases for the given case. As the diagnostic efficacy of CFP and OCT is
disease-dependent, the network's ability of being both selective and
interpretable is important. Moreover, as both data acquisition and manual
labeling are extremely expensive in the medical domain, the network has to be
relatively lightweight for learning from a limited set of labeled multi-modal
samples. Prior art on retinal disease recognition focuses either on a single
disease or on a single modality, leaving multi-modal fusion largely
underexplored. We propose in this paper Multi-Modal Multi-Instance Learning
(MM-MIL) for selectively fusing CFP and OCT modalities. Its lightweight
architecture (as compared to current multi-head attention modules) makes it
suited for learning from relatively small-sized datasets. For an effective use
of MM-MIL, we propose to generate a pseudo sequence of CFPs by over sampling a
given CFP. The benefits of this tactic include well balancing instances across
modalities, increasing the resolution of the CFP input, and finding out regions
of the CFP most relevant with respect to the final diagnosis. Extensive
experiments on a real-world dataset consisting of 1,206 multi-modal cases from
1,193 eyes of 836 subjects demonstrate the viability of the proposed model.
