contents Purpose: In order to produce a surgical gesture recognition system that can support a wide variety of procedures, either a very large annotated dataset must be acquired, or fitted models must generalize to new labels (so called "zero-shot" capability). In this paper we investigate the feasibility of latter option. Methods: Leveraging the Bridge-Prompt framework, we prompt-tune a pre-trained vision-text model (CLIP) for gesture recognition in surgical videos. This can utilize extensive outside video data such as text, but also make use of label meta-data and weakly supervised contrastive losses. Results: Our experiments show that prompt-based video encoder outperforms standard encoders in surgical gesture recognition tasks. Notably, it displays strong performance in zero-shot scenarios, where gestures/tasks that were not provided during the encoder training phase are included in the prediction phase. Additionally, we measure the benefit of inclusion text descriptions in the feature extractor training schema. Conclusion Bridge-Prompt and similar pre-trained+prompt-tuned video encoder models present significant visual representation for surgical robotics, especially in gesture recognition tasks. Given the diverse range of surgical tasks (gestures), the ability of these models to zero-shot transfer without the need for any task (gesture) specific retraining makes them invaluable.
