用医学知识分解提升异常定位精度,小模型也能达到大模型水平。
Knowledge to Sight: Reasoning over Visual Attributes via Knowledge Decomposition for Abnormality Grounding
- 将临床概念拆解为形状、密度等可解释视觉属性,指导模型对齐图文信息。
- 仅用1.5%数据训练0.23B/2B参数模型,性能媲美甚至超越7B+大模型。
- 适合医疗视觉语言任务中数据稀缺、需高可解释性的场景。
本文针对医学图像中的异常定位问题,旨在根据文本描述精确定位临床发现。通用视觉语言模型在自然图像上表现优异,但在医学领域因罕见、组合性强且领域特异的术语与视觉模式对齐不佳而效果受限。现有医学专用模型依赖大规模标注和计算资源进行预训练。为此,我们提出知识到视觉(K2Sight)框架,通过将临床概念分解为可解释的视觉属性(如形状、密度、解剖位置),并从领域本体中提炼成简洁指令式提示,引导训练中的区域-文本对齐。相比传统报告级监督,该方法显式连接领域知识与空间结构,实现高效的小样本训练。仅使用状态领先医学视觉语言模型所需1.5%的数据,我们训练出0.23B和2B参数的紧凑模型,在mAP50指标上最高提升9.82%,性能达或优于7B以上模型。代码与模型详见:https://lijunrio.github.io/K2Sight/
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this work, we address the problem of grounding abnormalities in medical images, where the goal is to localize clinical findings based on textual descriptions. While generalist Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel in natural grounding tasks, they often struggle in the medical domain due to rare, compositional, and domain-specific terms that are poorly aligned with visual patterns. Specialized medical VLMs address this challenge via large-scale domain pretraining, but at the cost of substantial annotation and computational resources. To overcome these limitations, we propose \textbf{Knowledge to Sight (K2Sight)}, a framework that introduces structured semantic supervision by decomposing clinical concepts into interpretable visual attributes, such as shape, density, and anatomical location. These attributes are distilled from domain ontologies and encoded into concise instruction-style prompts, which guide region-text alignment during training. Unlike conventional report-level supervision, our approach explicitly bridges domain knowledge and spatial structure, enabling data-efficient training of compact models. We train compact models with 0.23B and 2B parameters using only 1.5\% of the data required by state-of-the-art medical VLMs. Despite their small size and limited training data, these models achieve performance on par with or better than 7B+ medical VLMs, with up to 9.82\% improvement in $mAP_{50}$.
