Researchers have developed a novel method to improve medical visual question answering (VQA) systems by incorporating trajectory-aware process supervision. This approach utilizes a two-stage training framework, starting with supervised fine-tuning and progressing to Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with a unique process-based reward. The new reward mechanism measures the similarity between generated and ground-truth reasoning processes using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) on sentence embeddings, leading to significant accuracy improvements.
