Title: LiteMedCoT-VL: Parameter-Efficient Adaptation for Medical Visual Question Answering

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.09384v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The reasoning gap between large and compact vision-language models (VLMs) limits the deployment of medical AI on portable clinical devices. Compact VLMs of 2--4B parameters can run on resource-constrained hardware but lack the multi-step reasoning capacity needed for interpretable clinical decision support. Existing knowledge distillation methods transfer answers without the reasoning process behind them. Medical visual question answering (VQA) s
