ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Typographic attacks exploit multi-modal systems by injecting text into images, leading to targeted misclassifications, malicious content generation and even Vision-Language Model jailbreaks. In this work, we analyze how CLIP vision encoders behave under typographic attacks, locating specialized attention heads in the latter half of the model's layers that causally extract and transmit typographic information to the cls token. Building on these insights, we introduce Dyslexify - a method to defend CLIP models against typographic attacks by selectively ablating a typographic circuit, consisting of attention heads. Without requiring finetuning, dyslexify improves performance by up to 22.06\% on a typographic variant of ImageNet-100, while reducing standard ImageNet-100 accuracy by less than 1\%, and demonstrate its utility in a medical foundation model for skin lesion diagnosis.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Spectral imaging offers promising applications across diverse domains, including medicine and urban scene understanding, and is already established as a critical modality in remote sensing. However, variability in channel dimensionality and captured wavelengths among spectral cameras impede the development of AI-driven methodologies, leading to camera-specific models with limited generalizability and inadequate cross-camera applicability. To address this bottleneck, we introduce CARL, a model for Camera-Agnostic Representation Learning across RGB, multispectral, and hyperspectral imaging modalities. To enable the conversion of a spectral image with any channel dimensionality to a camera-agnostic representation, we introduce a novel spectral encoder, featuring a self-attention-cross-attention mechanism, to distill salient spectral information into learned spectral representations.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. This paper addresses the critical challenge of unlearning in Vertical Federated Learning (VFL), a setting that has received far less attention than its horizontal counterpart. Specifically, we propose the first method tailored to *label unlearning* in VFL, where labels play a dual role as both essential inputs and sensitive information. To this end, we employ a representation-level manifold mixup mechanism to generate synthetic embeddings for both unlearned and retained samples. This is to provide richer signals for the subsequent gradient-based label forgetting and recovery steps. These augmented embeddings are then subjected to gradient-based label forgetting, effectively removing the associated label information from the model.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Learning from multi-variate time-series with heterogeneous channel configurations remains a fundamental challenge for deep neural networks, particularly in clinical domains such as intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG), where channel setups vary widely across subjects. In this work, we introduce multi-variate parallel attention (MVPA), a novel self-attention mechanism that disentangles content, temporal, and spatial attention, enabling flexible, generalizable, and efficient modeling of time-series data with varying channel counts and configurations. We use MVPA to build MVPFormer, a generative foundation model for human electrophysiology, trained to predict the evolution of iEEG signals across diverse subjects. To support this and future efforts by the community, we release the SWEC iEEG dataset, the largest publicly available iEEG dataset to date, comprising nearly 10,000 hours of recordings from heterogeneous clinical sources.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Lightweight 3D medical image segmentation remains constrained by a fundamental "efficiency / robustness conflict", particularly when processing complex anatomical structures and heterogeneous modalities. In this paper, we study how to redesign the framework based on the characteristics of high-dimensional 3D images, and explore data synergy to overcome the fragile representation of lightweight methods. Our approach, VeloxSeg, begins with a deployable and extensible dual-stream CNN-Transformer architecture composed of Paired Window Attention (PWA) and Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma-guided convolution (JLC). For each 3D image, we invoke a "glance-and-focus" principle, where PWA rapidly retrieves multi-scale information, and JLC ensures robust local feature extraction with minimal parameters, significantly enhancing the model's ability to operate with low computational budget.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Healthcare insurance fraud detection presents unique machine learning challenges: labeled data are scarce due to delayed verification processes, and fraudulent behaviors evolve rapidly, often manifesting in complex, graph-structured interactions. Existing methods struggle in such settings. Pretraining routines typically overlook structural anomalies under limited supervision, while online models often fail to adapt to changing fraud patterns without labeled updates. To address these issues, we propose the Continual Fiedler Vector Graph model (ConFVG), a fraud detection framework designed for label-scarce and non-stationary environments.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Generalist multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved impressive performance across a wide range of vision-language tasks. However, their performance on medical tasks—particularly in zero-shot settings where generalization is critical—remains suboptimal. A key research gap is the limited understanding of why medical MLLMs underperform in medical image interpretation. **In this work**, we present a pioneering systematic investigation into the visual grounding capabilities of state-of-the-art medical MLLMs. To disentangle *visual grounding* from *semantic grounding*, we design VGMED, a novel evaluation dataset developed with expert clinical guidance, explicitly assessing the visual grounding capability of medical MLLMs. Code/project link: https://guimeng-leo-liu.github.io/Medical-MLLMs-Fail/

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Vision-language models for medical image segmentation often produce masks that conflict with the accompanying text, especially under multi-site/multi-lesion descriptions. We trace this failure to two factors: (i) highly templated and repetitive clinical language causes one-to-one hard contrastive learning to yield numerous false negatives, weakening cross-modal alignment; and (ii) predominantly vision-driven, one-way cross-attention lacks a language-dominant, spatially aware pathway, hindering effective injection of textual semantics into the spatial visual domain. To this end, we propose Consistency-enhanced Two-stage Segmentation (C2Seg). In the pretraining stage, Cluster-aware Contrastive Learning uses a frozen strong baseline to construct an intra-batch text similarity matrix as soft labels, thereby alleviating false negative conflicts and producing more discriminative visual representations.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Healthcare data, such as Intensive Care Unit (ICU) records, comprise heterogeneous multivariate time series sampled at irregular intervals with pervasive missingness. However, clinical applications demand predictive models that are both accurate and interpretable. We present our Graph Attention-based Relational Learning for Intensive Care (GARLIC) model, a novel neural network architecture that imputes missing data through a learnable exponential-decay encoder, captures inter-sensor dependencies via time-lagged summary graphs, and fuses global patterns with cross-dimensional sequential attention. All attention weights and graph edges are learned end-to-end to serve as built-in observation-, signal-, and edge-level explanations.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. The integration of histology images and gene profiles has shown great promise for improving survival prediction in cancer. However, current approaches often struggle to model intra- and inter-modal interactions efficiently and effectively due to the high dimensionality and complexity of the inputs. A major challenge is capturing critical prognostic events that, though few, underlie the complexity of the observed inputs and largely determine patient outcomes. These events---manifested as high-level structural signals such as spatial histologic patterns or pathway co-activations---are typically sparse, patient-specific, and unannotated, making them inherently difficult to uncover.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Medical time series (MedTS) classification suffers from poor generalizability in real-world deployment due to inter- and intra-dataset heterogeneity, such as varying numbers of channels, signal lengths, task definitions, and patient characteristics. % implicit patient characteristics, variable channel configurations, time series lengths, and diagnostic tasks. To address this, we propose FORMED, a novel framework for repurposing a backbone foundation model, pre-trained on generic time series, to enable highly generalizable MedTS classification on unseen datasets. FORMED combines the backbone with a novel classifier comprising two components: (1) task-specific channel embeddings and label queries, dynamically sized to match any number of channels and target classes, and (2) a shared decoding attention layer, jointly trained across datasets to capture medical domain knowledge through task-agnostic feature-query interactions.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. The application of large language models (LLMs) in the medical field has garnered significant attention, yet their reasoning capabilities in more specialized domains like anesthesiology remain underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce AnesSuite, the first comprehensive dataset suite specifically designed for anesthesiology reasoning in LLMs. The suite features AnesBench, an evaluation benchmark tailored to assess anesthesiology-related reasoning across three levels: factual retrieval (System 1), hybrid reasoning (System 1.x), and complex decision-making (System 2). Alongside this benchmark, the suite includes three training datasets that provide an infrastructure for continued pre-training (CPT), supervised fine-tuning (SFT), and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR).

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Deep learning-based respiratory auscultation is currently hindered by two fundamental challenges: (i) inherent information loss, as converting signals into spectrograms discards transient acoustic events and clinical context; (ii) limited data availability, exacerbated by severe class imbalance. To bridge these gaps, we present **_Resp-Agent_**, an autonomous multimodal system orchestrated by a novel Active Adversarial Curriculum Agent (Thinker-A²CA). Unlike static pipelines, Thinker-A²CA serves as a central controller that actively identifies diagnostic weaknesses and schedules targeted synthesis in a closed loop. To address the representation gap, we introduce a modality-weaving Diagnoser that weaves clinical text with audio tokens via strategic global attention and sparse audio anchors, capturing both long-range clinical context and millisecond-level transients.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Self-supervised pre-training has emerged as a critical paradigm for learning transferable representations from unlabeled medical volumetric data. Masked autoencoder based methods have garnered significant attention, yet their application to volumetric medical image faces fundamental limitations from the discrete voxel-level reconstruction objective, which neglects comprehensive anatomical structure continuity. To address this challenge, We propose MedGMAE, a novel framework that replaces traditional voxel reconstruction with 3D Gaussian primitives reconstruction as new perspectives on representation learning. Our approach learns to predict complete sets of 3D Gaussian parameters as semantic abstractions to represent the entire 3D volume, from sparse visible image patches.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Generating high-resolution 3D CT volumes with fine details remains challenging due to substantial computational demands and optimization difficulties inherent to existing generative models. In this paper, we propose the Pixel-Level Residual Diffusion Transformer (PRDiT), a scalable generative framework that synthesizes high-quality 3D medical volumes directly at voxel-level. PRDiT introduces a two-stage training architecture comprising 1) a local denoiser in the form of an MLP-based blind estimator operating on overlapping 3D patches to separate low-frequency structures efficiently, and 2) a global residual diffusion transformer employing memory-efficient attention to model and refine high-frequency residuals across entire volumes. This coarse-to-fine modeling strategy simplifies optimization, enhances training stability, and effectively preserves subtle structures without the limitations of an autoencoder bottleneck.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Multimodal large language models are promising for clinical visual question answering tasks, but scaling to 3D imaging is hindered by high computational costs. Prior methods often rely on 2D slices or fixed-length token compression, disrupting volumetric continuity and obscuring subtle findings. We present Photon, a framework that represents 3D medical volumes with token sequences of variable length. Photon introduces instruction-conditioned token scheduling and surrogate gradient propagation to adaptively reduce tokens during both training and inference, which lowers computational cost while mitigating the attention dilution caused by redundant tokens.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Recent generative pre-trained vision–language (GPTv) models have achieved remarkable success in multi-modal understanding, inspiring their adaptation to medical imaging tasks such as disease diagnosis and visual question answering (VQA). However, current instruction-tuned GPTv models suffer from two key challenges: (1) medical attributes (e.g., disease names, severity grades) are encoded as plain text tokens, collapsing semantically distinct concepts into nearly identical textual sequences; and (2) inadequate textual supervision weakens visual representation learning, leading to severe inter-attribute confusion and misaligned vision–language embeddings. To address these limitations, we introduce attribute tokens (AttTok), a set of pre‑defined special tokens that uniquely encode clinical attributes (e.g., imaging modality, diagnosis, severity) within a structured token space. Complemented by attribute‑centric embedding books, AttTok serves as anchor points for aligning both visual and textual modalities into a shared, discriminative representation space.

ICLR 2026 Oral accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Accurate analysis of Medical time series (MedTS) data, such as Electroencephalography (EEG) and Electrocardiography (ECG), plays a pivotal role in healthcare applications, including the diagnosis of brain and heart diseases. MedTS data typically exhibits two critical patterns: **temporal dependencies** within individual channels and **channel dependencies** across multiple channels. While recent advances in deep learning have leveraged Transformer-based models to effectively capture temporal dependencies, they often struggle to model channel dependencies. This limitation stems from a structural mismatch: ***MedTS signals are inherently centralized, whereas the Transformer's attention is decentralized***, making it less effective at capturing global synchronization and unified waveform patterns.
