AutoMIL: Automated Multiple Instance Learning for Whole-Slide Image Classification

Read the original on arXiv AI →

AutoMIL is an open‑source framework that automates key steps of multiple instance learning pipelines for whole‑slide image classification, including preprocessing, training, and evaluation. In benchmark tests, it achieved ROC‑AUC scores of 0.94 on UBC‑OCEAN, 0.99 on PCam, and 0.93‑0.96 on a TCGA‑NSCLC subset, matching the performance of specialized pipelines. The framework’s ensembling approach particularly improved results on imbalanced datasets, demonstrating the need for automated pipelines to adapt to dataset characteristics.

Denoising Mutual Knowledge Distillation in Bi-Directional Multiple Instance Learning

The paper introduces a denoising mutual knowledge distillation framework for bi-directional multiple instance learning (MIL) applied to whole slide image classification in digital pathology. By integrating instance-level classifiers and masks, the method grounds predictions on supporting patches while mitigating noisy labels. The proposed algorithm enhances both bag- and instance-level performance, as demonstrated on public pathology datasets.
