TCLA: Training-Free Class-wise Logit Adaptation for Medical Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2607. 09562v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit strong zero-shot performance, yet their effectiveness still declines on out-of-distribution (OOD) data due to domain shifts and class bias inherited from large-scale pretraining.

AdaptiveCDM: Source-Free Few-Shot Domain Adaptation for Cell Detection in Microscopic Images

AdaptiveCDM is a modular framework for source‑free few‑shot domain adaptation in cell detection, enabling a pretrained model to adapt to new imaging domains using only a handful of labeled target images and no source data. It combines Resolution‑Aware Augmentation (RAug) to balance scarce, class‑imbalanced samples while preserving cellular morphology, and Category‑Aware Representation Learning (CARL) to strengthen class‑consistent proposals for better localization and classification. Experiments on M5 and Raabin‑WBC datasets show that AdaptiveCDM achieves competitive or superior mAP scores compared to state‑of‑the‑art methods under their respective supervision settings.

Test-Time Logit Prompting for Source-Free Missing Modality Adaptation

The paper introduces Test-Time Logit Prompting (TLP), a lightweight framework that adapts vision-language models to missing-modality inputs without accessing source training data. TLP optimizes logit prompts using uncertainty-aware adjustments and modality-complete consistency regularization, thereby maintaining prediction confidence and semantic consistency. Experiments on various benchmarks show that TLP improves recognition performance by up to 8% while requiring only a few hundred tunable parameters and minimal test-time optimization steps.

Comprehensive language-image pre-training for 3D medical image understanding

arXiv:2510. 15042v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the 3D medical image domain, vision-language pre-training is used to create vision-language encoders (VLEs) that can support radiologists by retrieving patients with similar abnormalities, predicting likelihoods of abnormality, or, with downstream adaptation, generating radiological reports.

ProtoDCS: Towards Robust and Efficient Open-Set Test-Time Adaptation for Vision-Language Models

ProtoDCS introduces a robust open‑set test‑time adaptation framework for vision‑language models, addressing the challenge of simultaneously handling covariate‑shifted in‑distribution (csID) and out‑of‑distribution (csOOD) data. It replaces brittle thresholding with a double‑check separation using a probabilistic Gaussian Mixture Model and employs an evidence‑driven adaptation strategy that updates prototypes efficiently, reducing overconfidence and computational cost. Experiments on CIFAR‑10/100‑C and Tiny‑ImageNet‑C show state‑of‑the‑art performance, improving both known‑class accuracy and OOD detection metrics.
