Reducing Redundancy in Whole-Slide Image Patching for Scalable Indexing and Retrieval

Jialiang Geng, Ghazal Alabtah, Saghir Alfasly +2

The rapid growth of digital pathology has created an urgent need for efficient indexing and retrieval of whole slide images (WSIs). This need is intensified by emerging generative…

CRISP -- Clustering-Based Redundancy-Reduced Instance Sampling for Pathology Case Representation and Retrieval

Zahra Rahimi Afzal, Wataru Uegami, Saghir Alfasly +6

Digital pathology archives increasingly contain multiple whole-slide images (WSIs) per case, capturing spatially distinct tumor regions and reflecting intrinsic morphological heter…

Aggregation Schemes for Single-Vector WSI Representation Learning in Digital Pathology

Sobhan Hemati, Ghazal Alabtah, Saghir Alfasly +1

A crucial step to efficiently integrate Whole Slide Images (WSIs) in computational pathology is assigning a single high-quality feature vector, i.e., one embedding, to each WSI. Wi…
