New PU-DPO framework tackles omission noise in radiology report generation

Researchers have developed a new framework called PU-DPO to address omission noise in vision-language models (VLMs) used for generating radiology reports. Standard training methods often lead these models to under-report findings because clinical reports themselves sometimes omit subtle details. PU-DPO reformulates the objective using positive-unlabeled learning, treating absent mentions as unlabeled rather than negative, and constructs preference supervision through edited model responses. This approach has shown consistent improvements in detecting and recovering findings across various pathologies in experiments. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and reliable AI-generated radiology reports, improving diagnostic capabilities.

    Positive-Unlabeled Preference Optimization For Chest X-ray Report Generation

    arXiv:2608.05341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for radiology report generation are typically trained on retrospective clinical reports, which suffer from omission noise: clinically present findings are left unreported due to the omission of subtle…
