用稀疏谱路由专家提升医疗视觉语言模型的稳定性和适应性
Sparse Spectral LoRA: Routed Experts for Medical VLMs
- 通过谱分解初始化专家,实现参数高效且稳定的路由
- 零样本分类接近全微调效果,参数量减少339倍
- 适合临床场景中持续学习,遗忘率低于5%
大型视觉语言模型(VLM)在通用基准上表现优异,但在医疗影像中常因异质监督导致跨数据集干扰和对数据分布敏感。在真实临床流程中,数据与任务按序到达,直接持续训练会引发灾难性遗忘。为此,我们提出MedQwen,一种参数高效的医疗VLM,结合谱路由的专家混合(MoE)与理论支撑的缩放规则,使低秩更新与全秩微调的MoE对齐,且不改变基础架构。具体地,我们从预训练权重的非重叠奇异值分解(SVD)段初始化每个专家,并引入残差补偿与缩放机制,确保在分布偏移下专家能稳定分化、路由一致。在涵盖23个医疗数据集的任务(包括视觉问答、报告生成、放射科分类及幻觉缓解)上,MedQwen表现稳健:零样本分类性能接近全微调,可训练参数减少339倍;顺序遗忘率降至约5%,而强基线模型退化超过20%-50%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large vision-language models (VLMs) excel on general benchmarks but often lack robustness in medical imaging, where heterogeneous supervision induces cross-dataset interference and sensitivity to data regime (i.e., how the supervisory signals are mixed). In realistic clinical workflows, data and tasks arrive sequentially, so naive continual training further leads to catastrophic forgetting. To address these challenges, we propose MedQwen, a parameter-efficient medical VLM that couples a spectrally routed Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) with a theoretically grounded scaling rule that aligns low-rank updates with a full-rank, fully fine-tuned MoE, without changing the base architecture. Concretely, we initialize each expert from non-overlapping singular value decomposition (SVD) segments of the pretrained weight and introduce a residual compensation and scaling scheme to enable stable expert specialization and consistent routing under distribution shift. Across 23 medical datasets covering visual question answering, report generation, radiology classification, and hallucination mitigation, MedQwen achieves strong, reliable performance: it approaches full fine-tuning on zero-shot classification with 339$\times$ fewer trainable parameters, and reduces sequential forgetting to $\sim$5\% where strong baselines degrade by $>$20-50\%.
