Label-Free Foundational Model Selection for Medical Image Classification under Distribution Shift via Pseudo Label Discrepancy

The paper introduces a label‑free method called AURCC for selecting the best foundational model for medical image classification when the target domain lacks labels. AURCC uses a pseudo‑label discrepancy computed by the SUDO framework to score models without fine‑tuning. Experiments on chest X‑ray data across three inter‑hospital shifts show that AURCC closely matches the true model ranking, outperforming simple source‑accuracy baselines especially when source data are limited.

Towards Practical Algorithm Selection for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation in Medical Imaging

arXiv:2607. 28125v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Numerous unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) algorithms exist, but for clinical practice, selecting the best-suited one along with proper hyperparameters often remains unclear, as the unlabeled deployment (target) domain prevents direct evaluation.

Towards Practical Algorithm Selection for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation in Medical Imaging

Numerous unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) algori-thms exist, but for clinical practice, selecting the best-suited one along with proper hyperparameters often remains unclear, as the unlabeled deployment (target) domain prevents direct evaluation. We propose a label-free criterion that jointly selects the algorithm and hyperparameters for UDA.

DS@GT ARC at ImageCLEFmedical 2026: Architectural Diversity for Concept Detection and Foundation-Model Scaling for Caption Prediction in Medical Image Analysis

arXiv:2607. 27763v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe the DS@GT submissions to the ImageCLEFmedical Caption 2026 challenge, which continues a long-running benchmark on the ROCOv2 dataset with two tracks: Concept Detection (Task 1), assigning UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs) to radiology images, and Caption Prediction (Task 2), generating natural-language captions.

DS@GT ARC at ImageCLEFmedical 2026: Architectural Diversity for Concept Detection and Foundation-Model Scaling for Caption Prediction in Medical Image Analysis

We describe the DS@GT submissions to the ImageCLEFmedical Caption 2026 challenge, which continues a long-running benchmark on the ROCOv2 dataset with two tracks: Concept Detection (Task 1), assigning UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs) to radiology images, and Caption Prediction (Task 2), generating natural-language captions. For Task 1, our primary submission was a three-way late-fusion ensemble of ConvNeXt-V2, BiomedCLIP ViT-B/16, and DenseNet-169 with a regularized ''Honest Threshold Tuning'' procedure designed to avoid validation overfitting on rare concepts; this submission ranked first on the official submission with a primary $F_1$ of $0.

CARE-X: Towards Clinically Useful Radiology VLMs with Auxiliary Supervision, Reward-Aligned Learning, and Tool-Augmented Measurement

arXiv:2608. 03890v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A clinically useful chest X-ray system must go beyond fluent report generation: it should classify findings with tunable decision thresholds, localize them spatially, and derive the anatomical measurements upon which many diagnoses depend.
