How to use the code for just frontal ?
How can we handle inference with only frontal image , with no lateral image provided ?
Hi @kaikreese , you can just set current_lateral to None in the call to format_and_preprocess_reporting_input from the sample code. Just a note, if the dataset has laterals (for some subset of cases) and they are not provided to MAIRA-2, you may see a drop in performance (as shown in the ablations on model inputs in the MAIRA-2 report). This might happen especially if the technique section mentions a lateral but the lateral image is not given to the model, causing the model to generate spurious mentions to lateral images.
