From Panel to Pixel: Zoom-In Vision-Language Pretraining from Biomedical Scientific Literature
把多面板科研图拆成 figure/panel/region 三级图文对,为视觉语言预训练提供细粒度、可复用的数据构造与多粒度目标统一思路,可直接迁移到任何含密集标注结构的图文语料(如说明书、海报、UI 截图)。
原文依据 constructs aligned image--text pairs at the figure, panel, and region levels, preserving local semantics

There is growing interest in biomedical vision--language models trained on scientific literature. However, most pipelines compress rich multi-panel figures and long captions into coarse figure-level pairs, discarding the fine-grained correspondences clinicians rely on when zooming into local structures. We introduce Panel2Patch, a data pipeline that mines hierarchical structure from multi-panel, marker-heavy biomedical figures and their surrounding text, and converts them into multi-granular supervision. Given figures and captions, Panel2Patch parses layouts, panels, and visual markers, then constructs aligned image--text pairs at the figure, panel, and region levels, preserving local semantics instead of treating each figure as a single sample. Built on this corpus, we develop a granularity-aware pretraining strategy that unifies heterogeneous objectives from coarse didactic descriptions to fine region-focused phrases in a shared embedding space. Applying Panel2Patch to a small subset of literature figures yields substantially better performance than prior pipelines, demonstrating that exploiting hierarchical figure structure can provide more effective supervision with less pretraining data.
