arXiv:2606.04922v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current prompt-based and adapter-based tuning of vision-language models (VLMs) is attractive for medical imaging, where clinical data sensitivity favors frozen backbones and annotations are limited. However, these methods typically optimize only the ground-truth class, treating all other classes as equally incorrect, ignoring clinically meaningful class relations and yielding unstable decision boundaries in limited-supervision settings. We propose Omni-Geometry Knowledge Distillation (OGKD), a new framework that injects class-relation structure
The proliferation of advanced vision-language models for medical imaging is driving innovation in prompt tuning, necessitated by clinical data sensitivity and limited annotation availability.
This research introduces a method to improve AI decision-making in critical medical contexts by incorporating clinically meaningful class relations, leading to more stable and reliable diagnostic tools.
The adoption of geometry-aware distillation could significantly enhance the robustness and accuracy of medical AI, enabling more effective use of limited annotated datasets and frozen backbones.
