VLAgeBench: Benchmarking Large Vision-Language Models for Zero-Shot Human Age Estimation

Human age estimation from facial images represents a challenging computer vision task with significant applications in biometrics, healthcare, and human-computer interaction. While traditional deep learning approaches require extensive labeled datasets and domain-specific training, recent advances in large vision-language models (LVLMs) offer the potential for zero-shot age estimation. This study ...

MedAidDialog: A Multilingual Multi-Turn Medical Dialogue Dataset for Accessible Healthcare

Conversational artificial intelligence has the potential to assist users in preliminary medical consultations, particularly in settings where access to healthcare professionals is limited. However, many existing medical dialogue systems operate in a single-turn question--answering paradigm or rely on template-based datasets, limiting conversational realism and multilingual applicability. In this w...
