This paper proposes a novel approach to automatic radiology report generation (RRG) using Multi-objective Preference Optimization (MPO). The existing RRG methods rely on supervised regression, which may not align optimally with radiologists’ heterogeneous preferences. The proposed MPO method uses multi-dimensional reward functions and multi-objective reinforcement learning to optimize the pre-trained RRG model to align with multiple human preferences. This is achieved by using a preference vector as a condition for the RRG model and optimizing a linearly weighed reward via RL. The model is trained on diverse preference vectors, allowing it to generate reports that cater to different preferences without further fine-tuning.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The new approach can help alleviate the workload of radiologists by generating reports that align with their individual preferences. The proposed method uses a pre-trained RRG model and optimizes it using multi-objective reinforcement learning to align with multiple human preferences. This allows the generated report to prioritize fluency, clinical accuracy, or other important factors.
