Disentangling Co-Occurring Retinal Pathologies with Saliency-Guided Sparse Expert Routing

arXiv:2608. 09752v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retinal fundus images frequently exhibit multiple co-occurring pathologies, yet standard deep learning classifiers apply static, identical computation to every image regardless of the underlying disease distribution.
