Patent number: 10762398Abstract: Techniques for the operation and use of a model that learns the general representation of multimodal images is disclosed. In various examples, methods from representation learning are used to find a common basis for representation of medical images. These include aspects of encoding, fusion, and downstream tasks, with use of the general representation and model.
