Reliable Mislabel Detection for Video Capsule Endoscopy Data

Early screening via colonoscopy is critical for colon cancer prevention, yet developing robust AI systems for this domain is hindered by the lack of densely annotated, long-sequence video datasets. Existing datasets predominantly focus on single-class polyp detection and lack the rich spatial, temporal, and linguistic annotations required to evaluate modern Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). To address this critical gap, we introduce Colon-Bench, generated via a novel multi-stage agentic workflow. Our pipeline seamlessly integrates temporal proposals, bounding-box tracking, AI-driven visual confirmation, and human-in-the-loop review to scalably annotate full-procedure videos. The resulting verified benchmark is unprecedented in scope, encompassing 528 videos, 14 distinct lesion categories (including polyps, ulcers, and bleeding), over 300,000 bounding boxes, 213,000 segmentation masks, and 133,000 words of clinical descriptions. We utilize Colon-Bench to rigorously evaluate state-of-the-art MLLMs across lesion classification, Open-Vocabulary Video Object Segmentation (OV-VOS), and video Visual Question Answering (VQA). The MLLM results demonstrate surprisingly high localization performance in medical domains compared to SAM-3. Finally, we analyze common VQA errors from MLLMs to introduce a novel "colon-skill" prompting strategy, improving zero-shot MLLM performance by up to 9.7% across most MLLMs. The dataset and the code are available at https://abdullahamdi.com/colon-bench .

Mislabeled samples in training datasets severely degrade the performance of deep networks, as overparameterized models tend to memorize erroneous labels. We address this challenge by proposing a novel approach for mislabeled data detection that leverages training dynamics. Our method is grounded in the key observation that correctly labeled samples exhibit consistent entropy decrease during training, while mislabeled samples maintain relatively high entropy throughout the training process. Building on this insight, we introduce a signed entropy integral (SEI) statistic that captures both the magnitude and temporal trend of prediction entropy across training epochs. SEI is broadly applicable to classification networks and demonstrates particular effectiveness when integrated with contrastive language-image pretraining (CLIP) architectures. Through extensive experiments on four medical imaging datasets -- a domain particularly susceptible to labeling errors due to diagnostic complexity -- spanning diverse modalities and pathologies, we demonstrate that SEI achieves state-of-the-art performance in mislabeled data identification, outperforming existing methods while maintaining computational efficiency and implementation simplicity. Our code is available at https://github.com/MedAITech/SEI.

Capsule endoscopy (CE) enables non-invasive gastrointestinal screening, but current CE research remains largely limited to frame-level classification and detection, leaving video-level analysis underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce and formally define a new task, diagnosis-driven CE video summarization, which requires extracting key evidence frames that covers clinically meaningful findings and making accurate diagnoses from those evidence frames. This setting is challenging because diagnostically relevant events are extremely sparse and can be overwhelmed by tens of thousands of redundant normal frames, while individual observations are often ambiguous due to motion blur, debris, specular highlights, and rapid viewpoint changes. To facilitate research in this direction, we introduce VideoCAP, the first CE dataset with diagnosis-driven annotations derived from real clinical reports. VideoCAP comprises 240 full-length videos and provides realistic supervision for both key evidence frame extraction and diagnosis. To address this task, we further propose DiCE, a clinician-inspired framework that mirrors the standard CE reading workflow. DiCE first performs efficient candidate screening over the raw video, then uses a Context Weaver to organize candidates into coherent diagnostic contexts that preserve distinct lesion events, and an Evidence Converger to aggregate multi-frame evidence within each context into robust clip-level judgments. Experiments show that DiCE consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, producing concise and clinically reliable diagnostic summaries. These results highlight diagnosis-driven contextual reasoning as a promising paradigm for ultra-long CE video summarization.
