White-box method ReXTrust achieves highest AUC (peak 93.0) on Gut-VLM across five VLMs, outperforming alternatives by statistically significant margins while black-box and some gray-box methods collapse on certain models.
Introduces MMBU benchmark for VLMs in biomedicine and demonstrates that established benchmarks mask perception deficiencies in evaluated models.
AutoMedBench evaluates AI agents on long-horizon medical workflows across five stages and finds validation and submission as dominant failure points based on thousands of runs.
EchoVQA is the first large-scale VQA dataset for echocardiography spanning high- and low-quality images across views, with acquisition guidance questions, paired with a low-parameter multimodal prompt model that reports SOTA on several benchmarks.
JMed48k is a new benchmark of Japanese healthcare licensing exams used to evaluate 21 VLMs, with a paired image-removal audit revealing large differences in how models and professions benefit from visual content.
Diffusion LM matches AR performance on medical VQA, runs 3.5-4.4x faster, and enables bidirectional infilling for interactive radiology report drafting.
MedVIGIL provides a 300-case evaluation suite with 2556 probes that measures silent failures in medical VLMs under broken evidence, showing the best model at 69.2 on the composite score versus a human radiologist at 83.3.
Auditing five frontier VLMs reveals severe grounding failures (max 0.23 IoU, 19.1% Acc@0.5) and format collapse (up to 99% parse failure) in medical VQA; fine-tuning yields 85.5% SLAKE recall but perception remains the primary trustworthiness issue.
The paper benchmarks sycophancy in medical VLMs using hierarchical VQA templates and proposes VIPER to filter non-evidence social cues, reducing sycophancy while preserving interpretability.
Ask4VG learns a risk estimator from counterfactual visual probes to rerank question rewrites, reducing held-out hallucination risk from 0.658 to 0.623 and raising accuracy from 0.337 to 0.356 on VQA-RAD.
BCER agent improves end-to-end reliability of long-horizon MRI workflows via compilation, artifact binding, and bounded local recovery, outperforming reactive baselines especially on long-chain tasks across brain, prostate, and cardiac benchmarks.
