arXiv:2607. 22771v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Building a 3D CT vision language model begins with a choice of which image encoder to build on.
arXiv:2607. 22771v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Picking the frozen image encoder for a 3D~CT vision--language model (VLM), together with the token-compression scheme on top of it, is a search over many candidates.
arXiv:2607. 09438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Test-time scaling (TTS) reliably improves reasoning in large language models, but whether it transfers to small open vision-language models remains unclear.
arXiv:2608. 08713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models offer a promising path toward automating radiology report generation, but applying them to full 3D CT volumes poses substantial computational challenges.
arXiv:2606. 03879v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As foundation models scale toward fusing more heterogeneous visual streams, understanding how diverse encoders interact under joint training becomes a prerequisite for principled design.
arXiv:2606. 17660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) is compute-intensive and error-prone: model performance depends sensitively on data quality and hyperparameter choices, and na\"ive runs can even degrade model performance.
arXiv:2607. 22824v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Comparing CT reconstruction methods fairly is labor-intensive and largely manual, and many benchmarks use idealized data.
arXiv:2606. 11576v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) benefit from chain-of-thought prompting and test-time scaling, but these gains often come with prohibitive inference cost due to large visual contexts and long decoding chains.
arXiv:2606. 20364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A companion study established a de-biased, cross-model VLM-as-3D-judge that reliably ranks single-image-to-3D mesh quality where cheap geometry and CLIP proxies fall short.
arXiv:2603. 12478v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal instruction tuning is often compute-inefficient because training budgets are spread across large mixed image-video pools whose utility is highly uneven.
arXiv:2606. 28551v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building performant Vision-Language Models (VLMs) requires carefully curating large-scale training datasets, yet the community lacks systematic benchmarks for evaluating such curation strategies.
arXiv:2607. 25583v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) and low-bit quantization are now standard tools for adapting language models under tight compute budgets, yet their interaction is most often studied on billion-parameter models where the design space is expensive to explore.
arXiv:2607. 20993v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision-language models are becoming increasingly dominant in 3D medical image interpretation, but we rarely know which internal units encode clinical findings or where that information lives in the representation.
