ALICE: Learning a General-Purpose Pathology Foundation Model from Vision, Vision-Language, and Slide-Level Experts

arXiv:2607. 09526v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models are reshaping computational pathology, yet their capabilities remain shaped by pretraining objectives, data sources, and spatial scales, fragmenting complementary expertise across separate backbones.

Grid-Preserving Knowledge Distillation: Transferring Convolutional Inductive Bias to Vision Transformers under Data Scarcity

Vision Transformers underperform convolutional networks when training data is scarce, and distilling convolutional inductive biases from a CNN teacher is an effective remedy that leaves the deployed model unchanged. General-purpose feature distillation, however, transfers little in this setting.

PathSelect: Sequential Token Selection for Whole Slide Pathology

Gigapixel Whole-Slide Images (WSIs) present a fundamental computational bottleneck for vision-language models (VLMs) due to extreme sequence lengths. Existing approaches predominantly rely on spatial sampling or training-free pruning, which risk diluting weak but informative signals, leading to the loss of critical diagnostic evidence due to the spatially diffuse nature of pathological cues.

Compositional Cross-Modality Translation via Whole-Volume Multitask Latent Flow Matching

arXiv:2608. 08135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modality medical image translation can reduce the burden of multi-modal acquisitions, yet the field remains constrained by two coupled limitations: methods operate on 2D slices or 3D patches rather than whole volumes, and train a separate model for each translation task.

MoPET: Parameter-Efficient Mixture-of-Experts for Unified Medical Image Classification

arXiv:2607. 29462v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adapting deep learning models to profound clinical heterogeneity typically relies on parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) to avoid the severe overfitting associated with full end-to-end network updates.
