针对手术阶段识别中轻量模型泛化能力差、大模型缺乏显式时序建模的问题,本文提出一种大-小模型协同框架LaST,实现零样本跨域适应。在该框架中,基础模型(FM)首先生成帧级阶段先验作为弱监督信号;为利用这些噪声先验,引入迭代时序精炼机制,结合动态质量控制过滤可靠预测,并通过双模型交叉学习缓解确认偏差。同时,轻量模型凭借其内在时序建模能力,逐步修正不一致预测,提升整体精度。最终采用循环重播策略:将更精确的预测作为升级后的监督信号反馈至下一轮迭代,形成标签质量与模型能力的自我增强闭环。大量实验表明,LaST在未见临床域上表现卓越,相比基线(PeskaVLP)准确率提升24.85%–43.17%,甚至超越全监督线性探测和多个先进少样本方法。代码将于https://github.com/YIYIZH/LaST发布。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Task-specific lightweight models for surgical phase recognition excel at capturing temporal dynamics but generalize poorly under domain shift. Conversely, surgical foundation models (FMs) offer superior transferability via large-scale pretraining, yet their lack of explicit temporal modeling often yields temporally inconsistent predictions, leading to degraded performance. To exploit the complementary strengths of both paradigms, we propose \textbf{La}rge-\textbf{S}mall \textbf{T}emporal adaptation (\textbf{LaST}), a novel large-small collaborative framework that enables zero-shot adaptation to unseen clinical domains. In LaST, the FM initiates the pipeline by generating frame-level phase priors that serve as initial weak supervision. To effectively utilize these noisy phase priors, we introduce an iterative temporal refinement scheme that integrates dynamic quality control to filter reliable predictions and dual-model cross-learning to mitigate confirmation bias. Simultaneously, the lightweight model leverages its intrinsic temporal modeling ability to progressively correct inconsistent predictions and enhance overall accuracy across iterations. At the end, a cycle replay strategy is employed to close the loop: the refined, more accurate predictions are utilized as upgraded supervision signals for the subsequent iterations, fostering a self-reinforcing evolution of both label quality and model capability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LaST achieves robust adaptation to unseen domains for zero-shot surgical phase recognition, outperforming the baseline (PeskaVLP) by 24.85\%-43.17\% in accuracy and even surpassing fully supervised linear probing and several state-of-the-art few-shot approaches. Codes will be released at https://github.com/YIYIZH/LaST.
