arXiv:2607. 01272v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying 3D point cloud analysis in privacy-sensitive, resource-constrained settings faces two barriers: data cannot be centralized, and models must run on limited edge hardware.

OmniMed‑FL is a multimodal federated learning framework that fuses chest radiographs and synthetic patient notes to classify five clinical conditions. The study benchmarks eight fusion strategies, three initializations, and four missing‑text imputation rules across 3–20 hospital clients under non‑IID Dirichlet partitioning, showing that federated approaches (FedAvg, FedProx, SCAFFOLD‑AdamW) outperform local‑only training. Multimodal fusion consistently improves performance, achieving macro‑F1 scores up to 0.956 on the synthetic corpus and 0.906 on the radiograph corpus.
Simultaneous assessment of medical imaging and patient records is often required in clinical diagnosis. However, standard machine learning algorithms cannot analyze these data types together. Meanwhil...

The paper presents a method for cross‑architecture knowledge distillation from a fine‑tuned DINOv2 Vision Transformer teacher to a lightweight bidirectional Visual State Space Model (LVSSM) student for tea leaf disease classification. By addressing training‑stability issues with a progressive convolutional stem and gated selective‑scan block, the 4.45 M‑parameter student achieves a mean test accuracy of 95.41%—a 3.09‑point improvement over the teacher’s 92.32%—while using only one‑fifth of the teacher’s parameters. Ablation studies show that simple logit‑level distillation outperforms intermediate feature alignment, and the gains are specific to students that start below the teacher’s performance.

The paper investigates two strategies for improving large language model (LLM) evaluation: specialized judge weights and rule‑based deferral policies. Experiments on nearly 100,000 rubric‑conditioned samples show that correct rubrics boost accuracy, while incorrect ones hurt it, and that splitting training data into criterion‑specific experts can severely degrade performance unless the experts are warm‑started from a unified model. The authors demonstrate that lightweight deferral cascades can match or exceed the accuracy of larger standalone judges at a fraction of the compute cost, and they provide practical design rules for building efficient, reliable LLM evaluators.
