SkinCLIP-VL: Consistency-Aware Vision-Language Learning for Multimodal Skin Cancer Diagnosis
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). To strictly align visual regions with clinical semantics under long-tailed distributions, we propose the Consistency-aware Focal Alignment (CFA) Loss. This objective synergizes focal re-weighting, semantic alignment, and calibration. On ISIC and Derm7pt benchmarks, SkinCLIP-VL surpasses 13B-parameter baselines by 4.3-6.2% in accuracy with 43% fewer parameters. Crucially, blinded expert evaluation and out-of-distribution testing confirm that our visually grounded rationales significantly enhance clinical trust compared to traditional saliency maps.
