V-REX: Efficient Specialist VLM Training for Veterinary X-Rays

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

arXiv:2608. 20069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While generalist VLMs are expensive to train, creating domain experts is widely assumed to require fine-tuning increasingly large foundation models.

V-REX: Efficient Specialist VLM Training for Veterinary X-Rays

The paper introduces V-REX, a specialist vision‑language model (VLM) tailored for veterinary X‑ray interpretation. By redesigning the VLM pipeline—including text tokenisation, pre‑training, grounding, and inference—the authors demonstrate that a carefully engineered model can outperform larger generalist foundation models while using far fewer parameters, data, and compute. V-REX is the first VLM capable of generating diagnostic reports for veterinary radiographs, achieving significant gains over open foundation models on this task.

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.
