Paper Details Option-Aware Retrieval and VLM Tuning for Offline Medical VQA
An arXiv paper describes a submission to the MedReason 2026 challenge that handles both multiple-choice and open-ended medical visual question answering with fully offline, containerized inference. The authors report that retrieval for multiple-choice questions needs to compare candidate options in a specific way, and they also adapt a vision-language model to the clinical task. The work is listed under both cs.AI and cs.CL.
