The strength of clinical evidence is recoverable from language model representations but not from their stated grades

Soroosh Tayebi Arasteh

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly summarize clinical evidence, where a claim's weight depends on how strongly it is supported. Yet these models convey confidence poorly, an…

Selective Linkage Precision for Released Medical Vision-Language Models

Soroosh Tayebi Arasteh, Mahshad Lotfinia, Sven Nebelung +1

Hospitals may release de-identified chest radiographs while restricting access to their reports. An attacker who already has reports from the same population and their metadata can…

Safety and accuracy follow different scaling laws in clinical large language models

Sebastian Wind, Tri-Thien Nguyen, Jeta Sopa +9

Clinical LLMs are often scaled by increasing model size, context length, retrieval complexity, or inference-time compute, with the implicit expectation that higher accuracy implies…

Differential privacy representation geometry for medical image analysis

Soroosh Tayebi Arasteh, Marziyeh Mohammadi, Sven Nebelung +1

Differential privacy (DP)'s effect in medical imaging is typically evaluated only through end-to-end performance, leaving the mechanism of privacy-induced utility loss unclear. We…

Automated grounding verification of AI statements about chest radiographs

Soroosh Tayebi Arasteh, Mehdi Joodaki, Mahshad Lotfinia +4

A grounding verifier checks a statement about a patient's image against the radiology report and the cited evidence. The state-of-the-art methods for testing these verifiers remove…

The pretraining domain outweighs the training objective in setting the privacy-utility trade-off of differentially private medical image analysis

Soroosh Tayebi Arasteh, Mina Farajiamiri, Mahshad Lotfinia +7

Differential privacy limits how much each training image can influence a medical imaging model but lowers its diagnostic accuracy. Pretrained weights reduce this loss. It is unknow…

Resolution scaling governs DINOv3 transfer performance in chest radiograph classification

Soroosh Tayebi Arasteh, Mina Shaigan, Christiane Kuhl +3

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has improved visual representation learning, but its value in chest radiography remains uncertain. DINOv3 extends earlier SSL models through Gram-anc…
