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.
arXiv:2607. 20274v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image encoders from different groups are increasingly treated as interchangeable, on the assumption that scale and clinical supervision concentrate their representations onto a shared structure.
OmniMed‑FL is a multimodal federated learning framework that fuses chest radiographs and synthetic patient notes to classify five clinical conditions. The study benchmarks eight fusion strategies, three initializations, and four missing‑text imputation rules across 3–20 hospital clients under non‑IID Dirichlet partitioning, showing that federated approaches (FedAvg, FedProx, SCAFFOLD‑AdamW) outperform local‑only training. Multimodal fusion consistently improves performance, achieving macro‑F1 scores up to 0.956 on the synthetic corpus and 0.906 on the radiograph corpus.
