Process Reward Model as Cross-Task Learner: An Extension of Vision-Language Model to Zero-Shot Medical Reasoning

Jiahua Zhang, Yidong Tian, Jinghao Liang, Dianhan Lin, Yiwen Cai, Yuanqing Liu, Zishan Huang, Jingchun Ni, Jianxing He

Proceedings of the 34th ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACM MM) 2026

MedTRACE trains a lightweight process reward model once, then reuses it to steer a frozen vision-language model across unseen CT and whole-slide-image tasks with no gradient updates at deployment.

Can LLM Understand Medical Imaging with Long Context?

Jiahua Zhang, Jinghao Liang, Yiwen Cai, Jingchun Ni, Jianxing He

Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME) 2026

Oral at ICME 2026. Frozen CT/WSI encoders are compressed and optimal-transport-aligned into a long-context LLM as pseudo-tokens, giving few-shot diagnosis, staging and response assessment with no fine-tuning on either side.

DiffiT-HSFDA: Diffusion Based Source-Free Domain Adaptation for Histopathology

Jiahua Zhang, Yidong Tian

Advanced Intelligent Computing Technology and Applications (ICIC) 2025

Oral at ICIC 2025. Weakly supervised segmentation of lung-cancer histopathology degrades when staining protocols change; a diffusion-based source-free adaptation pipeline restores accuracy without access to source data or any new annotation.

LayerLog: Log Sequence Anomaly Detection Based on Hierarchical Semantics

Chunkai Zhang, Xinyu Wang, Hongye Zhang, Jiahua Zhang, Hanyu Zhang, Chuanyi Liu, Peiyi Han

Applied Soft Computing 2023

Detects anomalies in system logs by modelling semantics hierarchically, from words to log templates to sequences, rather than treating each log line as an opaque token. Applied Soft Computing, JCR Q1 (IF 7.8).

VESC: A New Variational Autoencoder Based Model for Anomaly Detection

Chunkai Zhang, Xinyu Wang, Jiahua Zhang, Shaocong Li, Hanyu Zhang, Chuanyi Liu, Peiyi Han

International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics 2022

A variational autoencoder variant that reshapes the latent space so reconstruction error separates normal from anomalous samples more cleanly. International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics (IF 2.9).
