• Current medical VLP methods force models to learn simple and complex concepts simultaneously, leading to suboptimal feature representations under distribution shift.limitation 90%
  Evidencepartial

  current medical VLP methods typically force the model to learn simple and complex concepts simultaneously. This anti-cognitive process leads to suboptimal feature representations, especially under distribution shift.

• MedKCO uses a two-level curriculum incorporating diagnostic sensitivity and intra-class sample representativeness for ordering pretraining data.method 90%
  Evidencepartial

  we design a two level curriculum by incorporating diagnostic sensitivity and intra-class sample representativeness for the ordering of the pretraining data.
