Medical visual question answering (Med-VQA) has tremendous potential in healthcare. However, the development of this technology is hindered by the lacking of publicly-available and high-quality labeled datasets for training and evaluation. In this paper, we present a large bilingual dataset, SLAKE, with comprehensive semantic labels annotated by experienced physicians and a new structural medical knowledge base for Med-VQA. Besides, SLAKE includes richer modalities and covers more human body parts than the currently available dataset. We show that SLAKE can be used to facilitate the development and evaluation of Med-VQA systems. The dataset can be downloaded from http://www.med-vqa.com/slake.

  1. MedRealMM: A Real-World Multimodal Benchmark for Chinese Online Medical Consultation

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    On a new benchmark of 5,620 real multimodal online consultations, top LLMs trail the original physicians mainly because they trigger more unsafe or unsupported negative criteria.

  2. RadFusion: Towards Threshold-Controllable Radiology Report Generation

    cs.AI 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    RadFusion makes radiology reports threshold-controllable by having an LLM rewrite classifier-guided findings, yet the reported ROC conformance follows by construction.

  3. Ming-Omni: A Unified Multimodal Model for Perception and Generation

    cs.AI 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single model with modality-specific routing processes image, text, audio, and video inputs and generates text, speech, and images, with public benchmarks reported across all of these abilities.

  4. The Limited Impact of Medical Adaptation of Large Language and Vision-Language Models

    cs.CL 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Continued pretraining of open LLMs and VLMs on biomedical data yields little or no consistent improvement over their base models on closed-ended medical QA in zero-/few-shot and supervised fine-tuning regimes.

  5. RARL: Improving Medical VLM Reasoning and Generalization with Reinforcement Learning and LoRA under Data and Hardware Constraints

    cs.CV 2025-06 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    RARL fine-tunes Qwen2-VL-2B on 716 medical samples with GRPO, LoRA, and a vaguely defined reasoning reward, claiming gains of 7.78% over SFT on reasoning and up to 27% on unseen VQA benchmarks.

  6. Inference-Time Agentic Decision Rules Beat Longer Evolving Search for Multi-Image Medical Reasoning

    cs.CV 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    On MedFrameQA, order-vote (57.89%) beats fixed prompting (52.73%) and order-rerank (55.79%), and a single 100-generation run drops final-test accuracy to 56.02%.

  7. Adapting Lightweight Vision Language Models for Radiological Visual Question Answering

    cs.CV 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A 3B PaliGemma model fine-tuned with synthetic QA pairs and two-stage training reaches 41.5% accuracy on open-ended radiology VQA, about 15 points below LLaVA-Med.
