Hearsay: Vision-Language Medical Diagnoses Without an Image

1st Workshop on Toward Trustworthy Vision-Language Models in the Wild, co-located with ICMR 2026

Vohra, S. (2026). Hearsay: Vision-Language Medical Diagnoses Without an Image. The 1st Workshop on Toward Trustworthy Vision-Language Models in the Wild: Theory, Algorithm and Application, co-located with the 16th ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR 2026), Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Audits frontier vision-language models under missing-image medical prompts and identifies structured diagnostic confabulation, demographic sensitivity, and structured-output failure modes.
