Baselines for automatic medical image reporting

Despite the high number of deep learning models presented in the last few years for
automatically annotating medical images, clear baselines to compare model upon are
still missing. Furthermore, though there are only two datasets publicly available for the
task, there is neither a shared and commonly adopted procedure for preprocessing the
raw data nor an unanimous way in which the intermediate tasks have been defined. The
work here presented tries to fill this gap by clearly characterizing the datasets, defining
the learning task and providing some baselines that can be especially helpful when trying
to replicate the results in languages with less resources than those available in English.
