Next-Dense-Stride Prediction for Multimodal Autoregressive Visual Modeling
Chicago Y. Park, Jialin Mao, Xiaojian Xu +3
We introduce DenseAR, a new generative paradigm that reformulates autoregressive image generation as coarse-to-fine next-dense-stride prediction using a compact single-scale tokeni…
MedSIGHT: Towards Grounded Visual Comprehension in Medical Large Vision-Language Models
Aofei Chang, Le Huang, Alex James Boyd +4
Medical large vision-language models (Med-LVLMs) have recently achieved remarkable progress in vision-language comprehension and medical image segmentation. However, existing model…
Stabilizing Off-Policy Training for Long-Horizon LLM Agent via Turn-Level Importance Sampling and Clipping-Triggered Normalization
Chenliang Li, Adel Elmahdy, Alex Boyd +7
Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms such as PPO and GRPO are widely used to train large language models (LLMs) for multi-turn agentic tasks. However, in off-policy training pipe…
MammoDINO: Anatomically Aware Self-Supervision for Mammographic Images
Sicheng Zhou, Lei Wu, Cao Xiao +2
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has transformed vision encoder training in general domains but remains underutilized in medical imaging due to limited data and domain specific biase…
Focus on What Matters: Enhancing Medical Vision-Language Models with Automatic Attention Alignment Tuning
Aofei Chang, Le Huang, Alex James Boyd +4
Medical Large Vision-Language Models (Med-LVLMs) often exhibit suboptimal attention distribution on visual inputs, leading to hallucinated or inaccurate outputs. Existing mitigatio…
Any Large Language Model Can Be a Reliable Judge: Debiasing with a Reasoning-based Bias Detector
Haoyan Yang, Runxue Bao, Cao Xiao +4
LLM-as-a-Judge has emerged as a promising tool for automatically evaluating generated outputs, but its reliability is often undermined by potential biases in judgment. Existing eff…
Enhancing SAM with Efficient Prompting and Preference Optimization for Semi-supervised Medical Image Segmentation
Aishik Konwer, Zhijian Yang, Erhan Bas +4
Foundational models such as the Segment Anything Model (SAM) are gaining traction in medical imaging segmentation, supporting multiple downstream tasks. However, such models are su…
MedHEval: Benchmarking Hallucinations and Mitigation Strategies in Medical Large Vision-Language Models
Aofei Chang, Le Huang, Parminder Bhatia +3
Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) are becoming increasingly important in the medical domain, yet Medical LVLMs (Med-LVLMs) frequently generate hallucinations due to limited expe…
Dynamic Uncertainty Ranking: Enhancing Retrieval-Augmented In-Context Learning for Long-Tail Knowledge in LLMs
Shuyang Yu, Runxue Bao, Parminder Bhatia +3
Large language models (LLMs) can learn vast amounts of knowledge from diverse domains during pre-training. However, long-tail knowledge from specialized domains is often scarce and…
Segment as You Wish -- Free-Form Language-Based Segmentation for Medical Images
Longchao Da, Rui Wang, Xiaojian Xu +4
Medical imaging is crucial for diagnosing a patient's health condition, and accurate segmentation of these images is essential for isolating regions of interest to ensure precise d…
