Medical visual question answering based on question-type reasoning and semantic space constraint

作者:

Highlights:

• A new Framework has been proposed for the medical visual question answering tasks.

• The question-type reasoning module was proposed for question type classification.

• A joint semantic space was structured for rich answer representation.

• A composition loss function was designed for the Med-VQA model.

• The results reveal that new framework have good contribution to medical visual question answering tasks.
