Pretraining Multiple Instance Learning Networks with Multi-Teacher Distillation from Pathology Slide Foundation Models
Mingxi Fu, Jiawen Li, Renao Yan +4
Multiple instance learning (MIL) has become the main paradigm for whole-slide image (WSI) analysis in computational pathology. However, existing MIL aggregators are still typically…
ALICE: Learning a General-Purpose Pathology Foundation Model from Vision, Vision-Language, and Slide-Level Experts
Jiawen Li, Tian Guan, Huijuan Shi +5
Foundation models are reshaping computational pathology, yet their capabilities remain shaped by pretraining objectives, data sources, and spatial scales, fragmenting complementary…
SlideCheck: Guiding Self-Supervised Pretraining of Pathology Foundation Models via Dataset Distributions
Mingyi He, Xinyi Guo, Xitong Ling +7
Pathology foundation models are pretrained on large streams of WSI-derived patches, while supervision during data construction is often slide-level, sparse, or heterogeneous. This…
To What Extent Do Token-Level Representations from Pathology Foundation Models Improve Dense Prediction?
Weiming Chen, Xitong Ling, Xidong Wang +10
Pathology foundation models (PFMs) have rapidly advanced and are becoming a common backbone for downstream clinical tasks, offering strong transferability across tissues and instit…
Multimodal Prototype Alignment for Semi-supervised Pathology Image Segmentation
Mingxi Fu, Fanglei Fu, Xitong Ling +4
Pathological image segmentation faces numerous challenges, particularly due to ambiguous semantic boundaries and the high cost of pixel-level annotations. Although recent semi-supe…
Deformable Attention Graph Representation Learning for Histopathology Whole Slide Image Analysis
Mingxi Fu, Xitong Ling, Yuxuan Chen +6
Accurate classification of Whole Slide Images (WSIs) and Regions of Interest (ROIs) is a fundamental challenge in computational pathology. While mainstream approaches often adopt M…
Subspecialty-Specific Foundation Model for Intelligent Gastrointestinal Pathology
Lianghui Zhu, Xitong Ling, Minxi Ouyang +24
Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases represent a clinically significant burden, necessitating precise diagnostic approaches to optimize patient outcomes. Conventional histopathological d…
