Beyond Point Estimates for Glaucoma Visual Field Forecasting with Diffusion Models

Marta Colmenar Herrera, Pablo Márquez Neila, Şerife Seda Kucur Ergünay, Martin S. Zinkernagel, Raphael Sznitman

Forecasting visual fields (VFs) is critical for personalized monitoring and treatment planning in glaucoma. This is inherently uncertain due to heterogeneous disease progression and measurement variability, yet most existing methods produce single deterministic predictions that fail to represent this uncertainty. We formulate VF forecasting as a probabilistic prediction problem and the use of conditioned denoising diffusion models to generate distributions of plausible future VFs from longitudinal observations with irregular follow-up intervals. Experiments on two independent VF cohorts show that diffusion-based predictions produce well-calibrated distributions for clinically relevant VF measures. When reduced to a standard point-estimate, the proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art accuracy compared to clinical baselines and prior learning-based methods. Our results highlight the advantages of distributional modeling for VF forecasting and support a shift from point-estimate prediction toward uncertainty-aware, clinically interpretable risk assessment in glaucoma.

When Model Priors Conflict with Visual Evidence: Mitigating Commonsense-Driven Hallucinations by Selective Prior Calibration

Kesheng Chen, Yamin Hu, Wenjian Luo

In vision--language models, commonsense-driven hallucination (CDH) occurs when a model's commonsense prior overrides clear visual evidence of an atypical state. For example, a model may report that a visibly six-fingered hand has five fingers. We show that these errors are system…

3D-Aware VLMs with Implicit and Explicit Geometries

Wenhao Li, Xueying Jiang, Quanhao Qian, Deli Zhao, Ran Xu, Shijian Lu, et al.

Despite rapid progress, most existing vision-language models (VLMs) built from 2D visual inputs often struggle when handling various 3D tasks that require fine-grained spatial understanding and reasoning. To bridge this gap, we present VLM-IE3D, a unified framework that enhances…
