Researchers have explored the use of small multimodal language models (SMLMs) for wound image classification, aiming to provide a training-free alternative to traditional supervised learning methods. By employing in-context learning (ICL) with retrieval-based techniques, these models can adapt to wound classification tasks without requiring task-specific retraining. Experiments on two public datasets demonstrated that SMLMs, particularly the Qwen 3.5 27B model, achieved competitive accuracy when using retrieval methods like k-nearest neighbour (kNN) with maximal marginal relevance reranking. The study suggests that this approach could enable practical and privacy-conscious deployment of wound classification systems. AI
