C$^2$A: Coupling Spatial Evidence with Clinical Priors via Co-occurrence Aware Class Attention for Multi-Label Chest X-Ray Classification

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 09774v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Thoracic pathologies rarely occur in isolation, yet standard multi-label classifiers rely on shared global descriptors, discarding \emph{where} findings lie and \emph{how} they co-occur.

CXR-LT 2026 Challenge: Multi-Center Long-Tailed and Zero Shot Chest X-ray Classification

The CXR‑LT 2026 Challenge introduces a multi‑center, long‑tailed chest X‑ray classification benchmark with over 145,000 radiologist‑annotated images from PadChest and NIH datasets. It defines two core tasks: robust multi‑label classification on 30 known classes and open‑world generalization to 6 unseen rare disease classes. The paper outlines data collection, annotation, solution strategies, and evaluates performance across head‑vs‑tail, calibration, and cross‑center gaps, noting that vision‑language models improve in‑distribution and zero‑shot performance but rare‑finding detection under multi‑center shift remains difficult.

Med-AR: Autoregressive Vision-Language Pretraining for Long-Tailed Chest X-Ray Classification and Uncertainty-Aware Evaluation

Med-AR introduces two autoregressive vision‑language models, Med‑AR‑8B and Med‑AR‑2B, pretrained on structured radiology reports, abnormality‑focused text, and region annotations to address long‑tailed chest X‑ray classification. The models outperform existing contrastive, self‑supervised, and supervised encoders—including Med‑CLIP, CheXFound, EVA‑Base, ARK, and BioViL‑T—across PadChest, MIMIC‑CXR, and CheXpert, achieving higher mean AUROC and AUPRC for head, medium, and tail findings and lower excess area under the risk‑coverage curve. Med‑AR also demonstrates improved selective‑prediction performance, with Med‑AR‑8B raising tail‑label mean AUPRC on MIMIC‑CXR from 0.1033 to 0.1441 and Med‑AR‑2B delivering the strongest discrimination on PadChest.
