Rᴀᴅ-DINO is now on arXiv!🦖 We show that medical image encoders trained only on images perform similar or better than text supervised models on various benchmarks, demonstrating that reliance on text may not be necessary, and can become a potential limitation. Microsoft Research


🔥 Our new preprint on biomedical self-supervised learning with images only is out! 🔥 Rᴀᴅ-DINO: Exploring Scalable Medical Image Encoders Beyond Text Supervision by Microsoft Research We show that: 0/3 🧵


Considerable work aims to mitigate 'algorithmic bias', assumed to be inherited from training data. However, little work stops to consider the underlying structures of dataset bias... Our latest Nature Machine Intelligence Perspective provides a unifying causal view on dataset bias. (1/5)


Amit Sharma Thanks for the great thread! You may also be interested in our #ICLR2024 paper, where we demonstrate that combining (1) LLM causal hypothesis generation & critique with (2) grounding on evidence from real data greatly improves causal discovery. openreview.net/forum?id=pAoqR…

Vision-Language Models will revolutionize radiology and enhance patient care. How do we ensure they achieve their goals in practice? Latest research from Microsoft Research led by @runmiridliy explores clinician+AI interaction for VLMs in healthcare! lnkd.in/gQv6RNq4


Thrilled to announce our collaboration with Cyted Health and Cancer Research UK to scale early detection of esophageal cancer with AI.


It's great to see our work on causality in fair machine learning showcased in the Nature Portfolio collection on AI and robotics! nature.com/immersive/robo…

We are hiring a senior researcher in ML for healthcare at MSR Cambridge (UK)! The position is in my team, so if you get it you will work with me (is this a pro or a con? do not answer). Focus is multimodal (~vision-language) models for radiology! Link: jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/…

We've released the Rᴀᴅ-DINO model weights!! Benchmark it, encode some datasets, show us some UMAPs, plug it into your classifiers, LLMs, MLMs, SLMs... We're excited to discover what the community will create on top of Rᴀᴅ-DINO. 🤗aka.ms/rad-dino-model Microsoft Research




THIS X-RAY DOESN'T EXIST European Conference on Computer Vision #ECCV2026 #ECCV2024 🧵1/9





The foundation models we'll build with Mayo Clinic promise to help transform how radiologists do their work, using multimodal AI to help them analyze X-rays faster and more accurately.
