Vision-Language Modeling for Neuropathological Evaluation

CDS 1635
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

About

Recent development in vision-language models has enabled flexible multimodal understanding and instruction-following. In this work, we introduce a vision-language framework for neuropathology that emphasizes diagnostic accuracy through visual QA. Without dense spatial supervision, this framework achieves accurate and reliable diagnostic decision making for a wide array of comorbid neuropathologies, offering a disease-agnostic approach for neuropathological evaluation.
