Can Coding Agents Build Robust Baselines? A Skill-Based Approach for Automating the Medical Imaging Model-Development Pipeline

The paper introduces an agentic AI Scientist workflow that automates the entire baseline development process for medical imaging by combining literature-guided reasoning, automated code generation, and hypothesis-driven experimentation. Evaluated on four public benchmarks covering segmentation, classification, and detection, the pipeline consistently improves validation performance, achieving competitive leaderboard results such as 6th place on both PUMA tracks and 31st on MILK10k. The approach also shows strong domain generalization on MIDOG25 across scanners, tumor types, and species, demonstrating that a skill-based, literature-guided agentic workflow can reduce engineering effort without task-specific redesign.

Towards Autonomous and Auditable Medical Imaging Model Development

Large language model (LLM) agents are beginning to automate machine learning engineering (MLE) by coupling planning, code execution, debugging, and empirical feedback. Translating this capability to medical imaging remains difficult because each task imposes modality-specific experimentation and strict requirements for validation protocols and prediction artifacts.

Medical Imaging AI Competitions Lack Fairness

Benchmarking competitions are central to AI development in medical imaging, but it is unclear if they provide representative, accessible, and reusable data for clinical relevance. This study systematically examined 249 challenges (458 tasks) across 19 imaging modalities, finding limited geographic, modality, and problem-type representation. Additionally, many datasets suffer from restrictive access, ambiguous licensing, and poor documentation, hindering reproducibility and long-term reuse.
