SlideBank: A Persistent Hierarchical Evidence Bank for Consistent Whole-Slide Reasoning

SlideBank is a training‑free framework that turns each whole‑slide image into a persistent, concept‑indexed evidence bank. It performs coarse‑to‑fine exploration to locate informative regions and multi‑scale views, converts them into explicit morphological observations, and anchors pathology signals to the supporting patches and slide coordinates. During inference, questions are routed to relevant signals and evidence scales, and a confidence‑based cross‑level consensus integrates global, regional, and patch evidence, achieving high accuracy on WSI‑VQA and SlideBench‑BCNB while enabling consistent re‑phrasing and reduced inference cost.

PathAgentBench: Benchmarking Evidence-Seeking Vision-Language Models on Whole-Slide Pathology Image

Whole-slide image (WSI) diagnosis requires identifying diagnostically relevant regions, examining them across magnifications, and integrating multi-scale evidence. However, most existing pathology benchmarks evaluate models on pre-cropped patches or pre-extracted slide features, leaving their ability to acquire evidence directly from gigapixel WSIs largely untested.

LanGuSTE: Language-Guided Coarse-to-Fine Patch Selection for Efficient Whole Slide Image Analysis

LanGuSTE is a patch‑selection framework for whole slide image analysis that uses vision‑language models and large language model knowledge. It introduces Cross‑Scale Visual Prompt Tuning to align low‑resolution and high‑resolution patches, and a coarse‑to‑fine selection module that encodes only informative high‑resolution patches. Experiments show LanGuSTE cuts overall processing time to about one‑third of the baseline while matching or surpassing diagnostic performance of exhaustive and state‑of‑the‑art methods.

Simple Token-Efficient Vision-Language Model for Case-level Pathology Synoptic Report Generation

arXiv:2605. 30716v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generating clinically useful pathology reports for pathology cases from whole-slide images (WSIs) is challenging due to gigapixel resolution, long visual-token sequences, and the complexity of case-level reasoning, where a single case may contain multiple WSIs with heterogeneous tissues and ambiguous findings.
