Quilt-1M: One Million Image-Text Pairs for Histopathology [NeurIps 2023] (Oral)
Recent accelerations in multi-modal applications have been made possible with the plethora of image and text data available online. However, the scarcity of similar data in the medical field, specifically in histopathology, has slowed similar progress. To enable similar representation learning for histopathology, we turn to YouTube, an untapped resource of videos, offering 1,087 hours of valuable educational histopathology videos from expert clinicians. From YouTube, we curate Quilt: a large-scale vision-language dataset consisting of 802,148 image and text pairs. Quilt was automatically curated using a mixture of models, including large language models, handcrafted algorithms, human knowledge databases, and automatic speech recognition. In comparison, the most comprehensive datasets curated for histopathology amass only around 200K samples. We combine Quilt with datasets, from other sources, including Twitter, research papers, and the internet in general, to create an even larger dataset: Quilt-1M, with 1M paired image-text samples, marking it as the largest vision-language histopathology dataset to date. We demonstrate the value of Quilt-1M by fine-tuning a pre-trained CLIP model. Our model outperforms state-of-the-art models on both zero-shot and linear probing tasks for classifying new pathology images across 13 diverse patch-level datasets of 8 different sub-pathologies and cross-modal retrieval tasks.
