SkinCLIP-VL: Consistency-Aware Vision-Language Learning for Multimodal Skin Cancer Diagnosis

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.21010v1 Announce Type: new The deployment of vision-language models (VLMs) in dermatology is hindered by the trilemma of high computational costs, extreme data scarcity, and the black-box nature of deep learning. To address these challenges, we present SkinCLIP-VL, a resource-efficient framework that adapts foundation models for trustworthy skin cancer diagnosis. Adopting a frozen perception, adaptive reasoning paradigm, we integrate a frozen CLIP encoder with a lightweight, quantized Qwen2.5-VL via low-rank adaptation (LoRA.
