• Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit insufficient spatial precision for medical visual grounding due to lack of explicit localization priors when relying solely on latent embeddings.limitation 90%
  Evidencepartial

  Although recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit promising multimodal reasoning ability, their grounding remains insufficient spatial precision, largely due to a lack of explicit localization priors when relying solely on latent embeddings.
