Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• We propose a dual-geometry imagetext framework, termed H CL, which appends a lightweight classifier head atop standard backbones and integrates features from both Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces for hierarchical medical image classification. • We introduce a group CL strategy to capture multi-level label dependencies, and adapt hyperbolic entailment from MERU to a two-level hierarchical imagetext alignment setting, extending single-level textimage entailment to a nested parent child structure that jointly constrains text and image representations across hierarchy levels. • Extensive experiments on the HiCervix microscopy dataset, the MoleMap dermoscopy dataset, and the UIdataGB ultrasound dataset demonstrate the superior performance of our framework with 16% higher accuracy compared to advanced methods.
