arXiv:2607. 16324v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Malaria diagnosis in endemic regions depends on species-level identification of Plasmodium parasites in thick blood smears, but deep learning detectors classify detections without providing morphological evidence for their predictions, limiting the ability of microscopists to audit those predictions at the case level.
arXiv:2607. 00385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated malaria diagnosis from blood smear microscopy is a critical challenge in global health AI; in resource-limited settings, the scarcity of expert microscopists remains the primary bottleneck to timely and accurate diagnosis.
arXiv:2607. 00385v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated malaria diagnosis from blood smear microscopy is a critical global health AI challenge; expert scarcity remains the primary diagnostic bottleneck.
arXiv:2608. 08566v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Malaria remains a leading cause of mortality in resource-limited settings, where expert microscopists are scarce.
arXiv:2607. 21155v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Knowledge-Intensive Visual Question Answering (KI-VQA) benchmarks evaluate Vision-Language Models (VLMs) as multimodal knowledge assistants by requiring external information beyond a provided image to answer questions.
arXiv:2606. 17958v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semi-supervised medical image segmentation has emerged as a dominant research problem in medical image analysis, mitigating annotation scarcity by leveraging consistency regularization on unlabeled data.
arXiv:2608. 08727v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To address this gap, we introduce TomaMMU, a large-scale Tomato leaf disease MultiModal Understanding dataset, alongside TomaBench, a benchmark for evaluating VLMs on tomato disease understanding.
arXiv:2606. 06224v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Explanations of multiple instance learning (MIL) models are widely used for validation and discovery in digital histopathology.
arXiv:2607. 04673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, yet most automated diagnosis systems rely on opaque deep-learning models that offer little clinical interpretability.
arXiv:2607. 28538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classifying pathological scars from clinical photographs requires distinguishing keloids from hypertrophic scars despite limited expert-labeled data and substantial acquisition variation across hospitals.
Knowledge-Intensive Visual Question Answering (KI-VQA) benchmarks evaluate Vision-Language Models (VLMs) as multimodal knowledge assistants by requiring external information beyond a provided image to answer questions. KI-VQA involves multiple sub-problems -referring expression understanding, visual grounding, object recognition, knowledge retrieval, and reasoning-yet existing benchmarks typically report only end-task accuracy, obscuring where failures arise.
arXiv:2604. 27720v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly applied to medical visual question answering (Med-VQA), yet whether they can \emph{localize} the evidence behind their answers---a prerequisite for clinical auditability---is poorly characterized.
arXiv:2606. 17412v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pathological images are inherently multi-scale, requiring pathologists to integrate evidence from global tissue architecture at low magnification to cellular morphology at higher magnification for accurate diagnosis.
