Does Bigger Mean Better? Comparitive Analysis of CNNs and Biomedical Vision Language Modles in Medical Diagnosis
Ran Tong, Jiaqi Liu, Tong Wang +4
The accurate interpretation of chest radiographs using automated methods is a critical task in medical imaging. This paper presents a comparative analysis between a supervised ligh…
Lightweight Baselines for Medical Abstract Classification: DistilBERT with Cross-Entropy as a Strong Default
Jiaqi Liu, Tong Wang, Su Liu +4
The research evaluates lightweight medical abstract classification methods to establish their maximum performance capabilities under financial budget restrictions. On the public me…
Renaissance of RNNs in Streaming Clinical Time Series: Compact Recurrence Remains Competitive with Transformers
Ran Tong, Jiaqi Liu, Su Liu +2
We present a compact, strictly causal benchmark for streaming clinical time series on the MIT--BIH Arrhythmia Database using per-second heart rate. Two tasks are studied under reco…
Dynamic Graph Neural Networks for Physiological Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling: A Novel Data Driven Approach to Drug Concentration Prediction
Su Liu, Xin Hu, Shurong Wen +4
Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a key tool in drug development for predicting drug concentration dynamics across organs. Traditional PBPK approaches rely o…
Modeling Parkinson's Disease Progression Using Longitudinal Voice Biomarkers: A Comparative Study of Statistical and Neural Mixed-Effects Models
Ran Tong, Lanruo Wang, Tong Wang +1
Longitudinal voice biomarkers provide a non-invasive source of information for monitoring Parkinson's disease progression, but their statistical analysis is difficult because repea…
Rainbow Noise: Stress-Testing Multimodal Harmful-Meme Detectors on LGBTQ Content
Ran Tong, Songtao Wei, Jiaqi Liu +1
Hateful memes aimed at LGBTQ\,+ communities often evade detection by tweaking either the caption, the image, or both. We build the first robustness benchmark for this setting, pair…
