MMIR-TCM: Memory-Integrated Multimodal Inference and Retrieval for TCM Clinical Decision Support

arXiv:2607.01814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, particularly through tongue inspection, faces persistent challenges in subjectivity and reproducibility. The application of multimodal artificial intelligence to TCM clinical tasks, such as syndrome differentiation and prescription generation, is significantly hampered by the semantic gap between visual tongue features and textual reasoning, as well as the lack of large-scale, standardized datasets. To address these challenges, we introduce MMIR-TCM, a novel framework that emulates the diagnostic proc
