DPsurv: Dual-Prototype Evidential Fusion for Uncertainty-Aware and Interpretable Whole-Slide Image Survival Prediction

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2510. 00053v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pathology whole-slide images (WSIs) are widely used for cancer survival analysis because of their comprehensive histopathological information at both cellular and tissue levels, enabling quantitative, large-scale, and prognostically rich tumor feature analysis.

Evidential Fusion Network for Multimodal Survival Prediction under Missing Modalities

The paper introduces the Evidential Missing Modality Survival Fusion (EMMS) model, which predicts survival outcomes using multimodal data even when some modalities are missing. EMMS applies Dempster‑Shafer theory and Gaussian Random Fuzzy Numbers to fuse information, accounting for both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty and the reliability of each modality. Experiments on four cancer datasets show that EMMS achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while providing calibrated, interpretable uncertainty estimates without extra computational cost.

Towards Accurate and Lightweight Peripheral Neuroblastic Tumor Diagnosis via Contrastive Multi-scale Pathological Image Analysis

The paper introduces CoPath, a lightweight framework for diagnosing peripheral neuroblastic tumors (pNTs) from whole-slide images. CoPath combines CoHisNet, a multi‑scale feature‑fusion network that replaces traditional MLPs with Kolmogorov‑Arnold Network layers for efficient nonlinear modeling, and PathVote, which aggregates patch‑level predictions using pathology‑informed priors. Experiments on a private pNT cohort and the public BreakHis dataset show that CoPath matches or surpasses existing classifiers while reducing computational complexity.
