MedSAM3: Delving into Segment Anything with Medical Concepts

MedSAM-3 is a text‑promptable medical segmentation model that builds on the Segment Anything Model (SAM) by fine‑tuning it with medical images and semantic concept labels. It enables precise anatomical segmentation through open‑vocabulary text descriptions, moving beyond purely geometric prompts. The accompanying MedSAM-3 Agent incorporates multimodal large language models to perform complex reasoning and iterative refinement, and experiments across X‑ray, MRI, ultrasound, CT, and video modalities show it outperforms existing specialist and foundation models.

ModaLens: Measuring Image Sensitivity in Report-Conditioned Medical VLMs

arXiv:2609.15635v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A radiology report can already answer a clinical question, so it is hard to tell whether a vision-language model also uses the image. ModaLens, a pai...

Concept-Grounded Reasoning with Prompt-Driven Localization for Interpretable Structured Report Generation

The paper introduces CORAL, a multimodal framework that combines spatial grounding and concept-level supervision for medical report generation. CORAL uses a prompt-driven segmentation model to localize lesions and a Concept Bottleneck module to predict multi-class clinical attributes, feeding these textual concept tokens and mask-modulated visual features into a multimodal large language model. Experiments on BUS-CoT and IU X-ray datasets show that CORAL improves diagnostic accuracy, concept consistency, and report quality compared to existing general-purpose and medical MLLMs.

Efficient Personalization of Generative User Interfaces

The paper "Efficient Personalization of Generative User Interfaces" addresses the challenge of tailoring generative user interfaces (GenUIs) to individual users when interface screens are not pre‑defined. By collecting judgments from 20 participants on 600 GenUI pairs, the authors show low agreement (Krippendorff's alpha = 0.25) and diverse rationales for UI preferences. They propose a sample‑efficient personalization method that leverages a few pairwise judgments to weight prior users’ preferences, outperforming a pretrained UI evaluator and a larger multimodal model offline and outperforming all baselines in an online study with 12 new users. "whyItMatters":"The study demonstrates a practical approach to personalizing on‑demand interfaces, showing that even sparse, subjective feedback can be effectively used to improve user satisfaction with generative UI designs."
