Separating Capability from Confidence: Grounded Dual-State Calibration for GRPO-Trained Medical Vision-Language Models

DualRead builds on the insight that reliability can be read from the actor's internal states at critical moments in the answering process and improves correctness discrimination and calibration over verbalized confidence while preserving answer accuracy.

MedProb: Probing Internal Representations of Vision-Language Models for Medical Question Answering

This work presents MedProb, a lightweight probing framework that predicts multiple-choice Med-VQA answers from frozen VLM representations without free-text generation, and shows the probe can be extended to open-ended generation via a rejection-sampling scoring procedure.

Objective-Aligned Direct Answer SFT for Robust Multi-Frame Medical VQA

A simpler competing hypothesis on MedFrameQA is tested: methods that remain tightly aligned with the benchmark's final answer objective should be the strongest robust adaptation family once evaluation is controlled across fixed splits, matched budgets, repeated seeds, and calibration.

Finding the Right Evidence: Factor-Guided Coarse-to-Fine Reasoning for Long Videos

Consistent gains over DVD on LVBench, Video-MME, EgoSchema, and LongVideoBench suggest that option-aware evidence acquisition transfers beyond MMR-V, and proposes PACE (Progressive Acquisition of Critical Evidence), a factor-guided framework for long-video evidence acquisition.
