Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machine learning technology, and more specifically to a method and system for encoding visceral organ attributes by fusing multimodal features. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, artificial intelligence has developed rapidly, especially deep neural network machine learning technology based on big data, which has achieved great development and widespread application. Western medicine has already widely applied artificial intelligence and achieved a series of breakthroughs, such as deep learning-based image diagnosis and automated medical record processing. The application of these technologies has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of medical diagnosis, and the application of deep learning technology in medical diagnosis has become a trend.

[0003] Currently, the application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the field of artificial intelligence is receiving increasing attention. Unlike Western medicine, TCM diagnosis is based on a holistic view and dialectical thinking, emphasizing syndrome differentiation and treatment. TCM diagnostic methods include the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation. By comprehensively judging the patient's symptoms such as complexion, eyes, tongue, voice, and pulse, the patient's condition is determined. Among them, tongue appearance and voice are the contents of observation and auscultation and olfaction in TCM diagnostic methods, and also serve as the basis for internal organs and their properties.

[0004] However, current research on the encoding of visceral organs and their attributes using deep learning-based multimodal methods of tongue image and speech still has many shortcomings. On the one hand, most current diagnostic models are based on machine learning for encoding visceral organs and their attributes. These algorithms cannot consider the inherent attributes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) characteristics. TCM's classification and diagnostic criteria for organs differ from those of Western medicine, requiring appropriate adjustments and optimizations to the data and algorithms. For example, factors such as tongue shape, color, and coating texture need to be considered, as well as the tone, timbre, audio time domain, and frequency domain of the voice. These features cannot be processed by traditional machine learning algorithms. On the other hand, according to the principles of TCM thinking and syndrome differentiation and treatment, multimodal diagnosis is a unique diagnostic method in TCM. However, there is currently no research on multimodal diagnosis of visceral organs and their attributes. Although single-modal encoding and diagnostic models have good results, there is still a certain degree of subjectivity and inconsistency in the treatment process. It is necessary to combine different modalities and conduct comprehensive diagnosis from different perspectives.

[0005] Therefore, encoding the attributes of internal organs by combining tongue image data and voice data based on deep learning technology from the perspective of multimodal diagnosis is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

A multimodal fusion feature encoding model is used to obtain the visceral organ attribute labels corresponding to the tongue image and sound based on the processed batch tongue image data and sound data spectrogram; The model building and training module is used to build and train a multimodal fusion feature encoding model. The annotation unit is used to annotate the internal organ attribute labels corresponding to the obtained tongue image and sound. The labels include internal organ category labels and organ attribute labels corresponding to each internal organ. The feature extraction unit is used to extract the individual features of the tongue image modality and the individual features of the sound modality using a deep neural network model, with the processed batch of tongue images as input image data and the converted batch of spectrograms as input sound data. The modal feature fusion unit is used to fuse the individual features of the tongue image modality and the individual features of the sound modality, constrained by the consistency and complementarity of the representation space. The supervised learning unit utilizes visceral organ labels and organ attribute labels for supervised learning, embedding prior guidance knowledge of visceral organ attributes to obtain a multimodal fusion feature encoding model of visceral organ attributes that incorporates prior knowledge.
