Universal Boosts, Specific Suppressors: Sparse Autoencoder Steering of Medical Vision-Language Models

Farhad Nooralahzadeh, Benjamin Gundersen, Nicolas Deperrois +7

Medical vision-language models (VLMs) often hallucinate findings when generating chest X-ray reports: they fabricate findings that are not present in the image, miss important ones…
