OptiModNet is a lightweight UNet‑Transformer hybrid designed for optic disc and cup segmentation. It incorporates grouped‑query and channel attention across multiple stages, along with an Aggregated Pyramid Loss to improve gradient flow and structural consistency. Evaluated on the REFUGE2 dataset, it surpasses existing methods by over 2.5 % while using only 3.73 GFLOPs and 1.93 M parameters.

Multimodal fusion learning (MFL) has shown great potential in the medical domain, where we are faced with disparate data modalities such as imaging, clinical records, and omics. However, existing MFL strategies face several major challenges.
Color Fundus Photography (CFP) is a primary non-invasive imaging modality for large-scale screening of ophthalmic and systemic diseases. Existing surveys mainly summarize task-specific algorithms, datasets, or preprocessing techniques independently, lacking a unified perspective on their co-evolution with modern artificial intelligence.
The paper introduces Generalist‑Specialist Mixture‑of‑Experts (GS‑MoE), a two‑branch architecture that combines a cross‑modal generalist model with modality‑specific specialists through domain‑constrained feature fusion. GS‑MoE improves detection of rare pathologies in multimodal medical imaging, achieving significant per‑class F1 gains and outperforming dense and specialist‑only MoE baselines while using about 53% fewer active parameters at inference. The study demonstrates that balancing cross‑modal shared representations with expert routing can enhance performance on low‑prevalence conditions.
