Dino-NestedUNet: Unlocking Foundation Vision Encoders for Pathology Tumor Bulk Segmentation via Dense Decoding
Tianyang Wang, Ziyu Su, Abdul Rehman Akbar +7
Vision foundation models (VFMs), such as DINOv3, provide rich semantic representations that are promising for computational pathology. However, many current adaptations pair frozen…
Unified Multi-Foundation-Model Slide Representation for Pan-Cancer Recognition and Text-Guided Tumor Localization
Tianyang Wang, Ziyu Su, Abdul Rehman Akbar +6
The expanding ecosystem of pathology foundation models has produced powerful but fragmented tile-level representations, limiting their use in clinical tasks that require unified sl…
MorphDistill: Distilling Unified Morphological Knowledge from Pathology Foundation Models for Colorectal Cancer Survival Prediction
Hikmat Khan, Usama Sajjad, Metin N. Gurcan +4
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Accurate survival prediction is essential for treatment stratification, yet exist…
Streamline pathology foundation model by cross-magnification distillation
Ziyu Su, Abdul Rehman Akbar, Usama Sajjad +2
Foundation models (FM) have transformed computational pathology but remain computationally prohibitive for clinical deployment due to their massive parameter counts and high-magnif…
Learning the Language of Histopathology Images reveals Prognostic Subgroups in Invasive Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients
Abdul Rehman Akbar, Usama Sajjad, Ziyu Su +5
Recurrence remains a major clinical challenge in surgically resected invasive lung adenocarcinoma, where existing grading and staging systems fail to capture the cellular complexit…
Hyperparameter Optimization and Reproducibility in Deep Learning Model Training
Usman Afzaal, Ziyu Su, Usama Sajjad +4
Reproducibility remains a critical challenge in foundation model training for histopathology, often hindered by software randomness, hardware non-determinism, and inconsistent hype…
