MedUAG: Unified Understanding and Generation for Medical Multimodal Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.18937v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are rapidly evolving into unified understanding and generation (UAG) frameworks. However, extending these unified paradigms to the medical domain is hindered by: the absence of comprehensive training and evaluation benchmarks, and the lack of broadly validated unified medical model. To address these gaps, we present a comprehensive foundation for medical UAG. First, we construct MedUAGCorpus, the largest unified medical understanding and generation dataset to date, comprising over 6 million instan
