SynerMedGen: Synergizing Medical Multimodal Understanding with Generation via Task Alignment
Unifying multimodal understanding and generation is a compelling frontier that is beginning to emerge in the medical field. However, the limited existing unified medical models typically treat understanding and generation as disjoint objectives, lacking a meaningful functional synergy. In this work, we identify and address a critical question in unified medical modeling: what form of understanding truly benefits generation. We present SynerMedGen, a unified framework built on the proposed principle of generation-aligned understanding, which synergizes understanding objectives with generation tasks via task alignment. SynerMedGen introduces three generation-aligned understanding tasks and ...
