MedCRP-CL: Continual Medical Image Segmentation via Bayesian Nonparametric Semantic Modality Discovery

arXiv:2605. 20297v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation faces a fundamental challenge in continual learning: data arrives sequentially from heterogeneous sources, yet effective continual learning requires discovering which tasks share sufficient structure to benefit from joint learning.

MedSAM3: Delving into Segment Anything with Medical Concepts

MedSAM-3 is a text‑promptable medical segmentation model that builds on the Segment Anything Model (SAM) by fine‑tuning it with medical images and semantic concept labels. It enables precise anatomical segmentation through open‑vocabulary text descriptions, moving beyond purely geometric prompts. The accompanying MedSAM-3 Agent incorporates multimodal large language models to perform complex reasoning and iterative refinement, and experiments across X‑ray, MRI, ultrasound, CT, and video modalities show it outperforms existing specialist and foundation models.

Prompt-Based Continual Compositional Zero-Shot Learning

The paper introduces PromptCCZSL, a framework that enables vision‑language models to continually learn new attributes, objects, and their unique compositions while avoiding forgetting. It uses a frozen VLM backbone with prompt‑based techniques, recency‑weighted multi‑teacher distillation, and several loss functions (CAL, OPL, IDL) to maintain prior knowledge and promote diverse, distinct embeddings. Experiments on UT‑Zappos and C‑GQA show significant performance gains over existing VLM‑based and non‑VLM baselines, establishing a new benchmark for continual compositional zero‑shot learning.
