Claims
CA-GCL consistently outperforms existing VLP paradigms in zero-shot abnormality detection, achieving superior performance while exhibiting strong cross-dataset generalization. Crucially, CA-GCL reduces performance variance across diverse prompt templates, transforming the collapsed textual similarity distribution into a bell-shaped distribution.
That enforcing global separation between anatomical categories via contrastive objectives will counteract local alignment collapse without degrading fine-grained visual-textual correspondences or introducing new instabilities in the latent space.
CA-GCL adds global contrastive separation and clinical text augmentation to fine-grained vision-language pretraining, reducing textual embedding collapse and prompt variance in 3D medical image tasks.
