Reading the Whole Heart: Latent-Attention Masked Autoencoders for Multimodal Cardiac Representation Learning
This work introduces Latent-Attention Masked Autoencoder (LAMAE), a multimodal, structure-aware masked autoencoder that jointly learns patient-level representations during self-supervised pretraining that outperforms modality-specific pretraining and strong contrastive and vision-language baselines across multimodal ho...
