Learning Multi-modal Representations by Watching Hundreds of Surgical Video Lectures [PDF]
Recent advancements in surgical computer vision applications have been driven by vision-only models, which do not explicitly integrate the rich semantics of language into their design. These methods rely on manually annotated surgical videos to predict a fixed set of object categories, limiting their generalizability to unseen surgical procedures and ...
