Rethinking Noise-Robust Training for Frozen Vision Foundation Models: A Cross-Dataset Benchmark with a Case Study of Small-Loss Failure

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.22591v1 Announce Type: new Frozen Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) with lightweight classification heads are increasingly used in medical imaging because they offer efficient and reproducible deployment. Yet noisy-label learning methods for this frozen-feature regime remain poorly understood, and most existing methods still rely on a small-loss assumption inherited from end-to-end
