arXiv:2607. 19128v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) provide a unified representation space for textual and visual information, yet their potential as general-purpose backbones for graph-structured data remains largely unexplored.

MedFG-VQA is a lightweight medical visual question answering framework that uses a memory bank to enhance low‑frequency DCT features and graph‑enhanced cross‑attention for visual‑textual alignment. It introduces Frequency‑Memory Fusion to retrieve and fuse low‑frequency information from a learnable memory bank, and Graph‑Aware Cross‑Attention to refine cross‑modal features via graph convolution. The authors also create SynMed‑VQA, a synthetic dataset of over 2 million QA pairs across nine imaging modalities, and show that MedFG‑VQA matches or outperforms larger models on several biomedical VQA benchmarks while keeping computational costs low.

Abundant visual information strengthens vision-language model (VLM) perception, yet massive visual tokens raise inference costs. Existing visual token pruning methods rely on similarity-based guidance, which exploits pairwise text-vision and vision-vision token correlations for compression.

VIVAS is a new Vision‑Language Model pre‑training framework that addresses the lack of fine‑grained visual perception in existing VLMs. It introduces a unified token space and a dense‑structural‑semantic vision tokenizer that expands the textual vocabulary with visual tokens, enabling vision‑language unified autoregressive supervision over both visual details and linguistic content. Trained on 12.4 T tokens, VIVAS achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on 7 tasks and 39 multimodal benchmarks.
