BiomedCLIP-PubMedBERT_256-vit_base_patch16_224

BiomedCLIP is a biomedical vision-language foundation model that is pretrained on PMC-15M, a dataset of 15 million figure-caption pairs extracted from biomedical research articles in PubMed Central, using contrastive learning. It uses PubMedBERT as the text encoder and Vision Transformer as the image encoder, with domain-specific adaptations. It can perform various vision-language processing (VLP) tasks such as cross-modal retrieval, image classification, and visual question answering. BiomedCLIP establishes new state of the art in a wide range of standard datasets, and substantially outperforms prior VLP approaches:

Training Data

We have released BiomedCLIP Data Pipeline at https://github.com/microsoft/BiomedCLIP_data_pipeline, which automatically downloads and processes a set of articles from the PubMed Central Open Access dataset. BiomedCLIP builds upon the PMC-15M dataset, which is a large-scale parallel image-text dataset generated by this data pipeline for biomedical vision-language processing. It contains 15 million figure-caption pairs extracted from biomedical research articles in PubMed Central and covers a diverse range of biomedical image types, such as microscopy, radiography, histology, and more.

Intended Use

This model is intended to be used solely for (I) future research on visual-language processing and (II) reproducibility of the experimental results reported in the reference paper.

Primary Intended Use

The primary intended use is to support AI researchers building on top of this work. BiomedCLIP and its associated models should be helpful for exploring various biomedical VLP research questions, especially in the radiology domain.

Out-of-Scope Use

Any deployed use case of the model --- commercial or otherwise --- is currently out of scope. Although we evaluated the models using a broad set of publicly-available research benchmarks, the models and evaluations are not intended for deployed use cases. Please refer to the associated paper for more details.
