Outline

This paper proposes MM-Retinal-Reason, the first multimodal ophthalmology dataset capable of performing various types of inference (basic and complex) in the ophthalmology domain, and a multimodal inference model, OphthaReason, based on it. OphthaReason demonstrates a step-by-step inference process and flexibly adapts to both basic and complex inference tasks using the Uncertainty-Aware Dynamic Reasoning (UADT) technique. Experimental results show that OphthaReason achieves at least 15% performance improvement over existing models (general-purpose MLLM, medical MLLM, reinforcement learning-based medical MLLM, and ophthalmology MLLM).

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We present a novel multimodal dataset and model capable of performing complex inference processes required for ophthalmic diagnosis.
We demonstrated that a dynamic reasoning technique considering uncertainty (UADT) can effectively address various inference tasks.
It can contribute to the development of ophthalmic diagnosis support systems by achieving significant performance improvements compared to existing models.
Limitations:
There is a lack of specific information about the size and diversity of the MM-Retinal-Reason dataset.
Further research is needed to determine the generalizability of the UADT technique and its extendibility to other medical fields.
There is a lack of performance validation in actual clinical environments.
