Assessing VLM Reliability for Medical Image Quality Evaluation Under Corruption and Bias

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly applied in medical tasks such as pathology description, report generation, and visual question answering. Medical Image Quality Assessment (MIQA) supports diagnostic accuracy and patient safety by determining whether images meet the standards required for clinical decision-making. Automating MIQA with VLMs may reduce workload, but their behavior under...

On the Utility and Factual Reliability of Pruned Mixture-of-Experts Models in the Biomedical Domain

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models offer inference speedups via selective activation but impose substantial memory requirements because the whole network must remain loaded. Structured expert pruning is a practical approach for reducing deployment costs in resource-constrained settings. However, prior studies primarily evaluate benchmark utility, leaving the effect of pruning on factual reliability u...
