Methodology
Results & Performance
Clinical Impact

TILA integrates inversion-aware objectives throughout the AI lifecycle: leveraging temporal inversion as a supervisory signal to enhance the sensitivity of existing temporal vision-language models to directional change.

Enterprise Process Flow

Change-aware Sigmoid Pretraining
Bidirectional Cross-Entropy Fine-tuning
Temporal Consistency Loss
Inversion-aware Inference

This unique approach leverages temporal inversion (reversing image pairs) as a supervisory signal, forcing models to understand not just static features but also the direction and consistency of temporal change.

Our comprehensive evaluations demonstrate TILA's superior performance across critical temporal reasoning tasks, consistently improving accuracy and robustness.

Model Standard Accuracy (Avg. Macro-%) Consistency Accuracy (Avg. Macro-%) Retrieval TEM Score (MIMIC)
ALTA SigLIP (Baseline) 61.7 42.9 14.7
ALTATILA (Our Approach) 64.1 57.4 16.0

These results highlight TILA's ability to not only maintain but significantly improve classification accuracy and achieve robust temporal embedding alignment.

+13.7% AUC Improvement on RexGradient for Binary Interval-Change Screening (from 0.565 to 0.702)

TILA directly addresses the core clinical task of assessing interval change in CXRs, moving beyond static image analysis to provide deeper diagnostic insights.

Key Benefits for Radiology:

  • Directional Reasoning: Accurately distinguishes between improvement, stability, and worsening, aligning with radiologist workflow.
  • Temporal Robustness: Provides consistent predictions even under temporal inversion, reducing order bias and enhancing trustworthiness.
  • Reduced Reporting Burden: Improves binary interval-change screening, allowing prioritization of changed cases for detailed review in high-volume settings.

This framework provides a principled building block for future temporal vision-language models, promising more reliable and interpretable longitudinal assessments in high-volume clinical settings.
