Analyzing and Improving Fine-grained Preference Optimization in Medical LVLMs

Shayan Mohammadizadehsamakosh, Pritam Sarkar, Leonid Sigal +2

Preference optimization is increasingly used to post-train medical large vision-language models (LVLMs), yet it operates at a much coarser granularity than the one that defines cli…

OpenMedReason: Scientific Reasoning Supervision for Medical Vision-Language Models

Negin Baghbanzadeh, Pritam Sarkar, Michael Colacci +6

High-stakes clinical use of large vision-language models (LVLMs) requires reasoning that is grounded in visual evidence and clinical knowledge, not just correct final answers. We i…

LookWhen? Fast Video Recognition by Learning When, Where, and What to Compute

Ali Salamatian, Anthony Fuller, Pritam Sarkar +3

Transformers dominate video recognition. They split videos into tokens, and processing them has expensive superlinear computational cost. Yet videos are filled with redundancy, so…

Mitigating Object Hallucination in MLLMs via Data-augmented Phrase-level Alignment

Pritam Sarkar, Sayna Ebrahimi, Ali Etemad +3

Despite their significant advancements, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often generate factually inaccurate information, referred to as hallucination. In this work, we add…

Detection of Maternal and Fetal Stress from the Electrocardiogram with Self-Supervised Representation Learning

Pritam Sarkar, Silvia Lobmaier, Bibiana Fabre +5

In the pregnant mother and her fetus, chronic prenatal stress results in entrainment of the fetal heartbeat by the maternal heartbeat, quantified by the fetal stress index (FSI). D…
