SurgPub-Video: A Comprehensive Surgical Video Dataset for Enhanced Surgical Intelligence in Vision-Language Model
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown significant potential in surgical scene analysis, yet existing models are limited by frame-level datasets and lack high-quality video data with procedural surgical knowledge. To address these challenges, we make the following contributions: (i) SurgPub-Video, a comprehensive dataset of over 3,000 surgical videos and 25 million annotated frames across 11 specialties, sourced from peer-reviewed clinical journals, (ii) SurgLLaVA-Video, a specialized VLM for…
