Location-Aware Fine-Grained Representation Learning for Medical Vision Foundation Models
Myeongkyun Kang, Yanting Yang, Xiaoxiao Li
Fine-grained visual representations are essential for medical image analysis, particularly when diagnostically relevant evidence is subtle and spatially localized. Modern transform…
UltraVR: A Diagnostic Ultra-Resolution Image-VQA Benchmark for Evidence-Grounded Reasoning
Gexin Huang, Yanting Yang, Myeongkyun Kang +6
Vision-language models (VLMs) excel on visual question answering and multimodal reasoning benchmarks. Yet their capability on ultra-resolution images - where critical evidence is t…
Instruction-Free Tuning of Large Vision Language Models for Medical Instruction Following
Myeongkyun Kang, Soopil Kim, Xiaoxiao Li +1
Large vision language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance across a wide range of tasks. These capabilities largely stem from visual instruction tuning, which fi…
LoFi: Location-Aware Fine-Grained Representation Learning for Chest X-ray
Myeongkyun Kang, Yanting Yang, Xiaoxiao Li
Fine-grained representation learning is crucial for retrieval and phrase grounding in chest X-rays, where clinically relevant findings are often spatially confined. However, the la…
Can Generalist Vision Language Models (VLMs) Rival Specialist Medical VLMs? Benchmarking and Strategic Insights
Yuan Zhong, Ruinan Jin, Qi Dou +1
Vision Language Models (VLMs) have shown promise in automating image diagnosis and interpretation in clinical settings. However, developing specialist medical VLMs requires substan…
