Abstract:Automated chest X-ray report generation requires precise cross-modal grounding to ensure clinically reliable descriptions. However, existing vision-language models rely on implicit attention mechanisms that fail to enforce explicit region-word correspondence and disease-level consistency. We propose Game-Theoretic Alignment Network (GTA-Net), a vision-language framework that formulates report generation as a cooperative game-theoretic alignment problem. The model introduces a BinaryGameAligner that models interactions between image regions and text tokens using similarity-based payoff matrices with Shapley-inspired importance weighting. To enforce clinical semantics, we further develop a Disease-Aware Ternary Aligner, which captures joint interactions among images, reports, and structured disease concepts. GTA-Net combines a Swin-based visual encoder with a LoRA-adapted large language model and is trained with a unified objective for generation and alignment. Experiments on CheXpertPlus and IU-XRay demonstrate state-of-the-art performance across standard generation metrics and improved clinical consistency, highlighting the effectiveness of explicit game-theoretic alignment for medical vision-language generation.
