Lymphocyte Mimicry Correction via Region-Level Tissue Reasoning and Unbalanced Optimal Transport

Xiang Li, Yuqi Wang, Casey C. Heirman +2

Cell mimicry arises when different cell types appear morphologically similar. Human pathologists resolve this ambiguity using surrounding tissue context, whereas current vision mod…
