SCOUT is a concept‑grounded multimodal transformer that generates whole‑slide pathology reports by integrating local histological patterns, whole‑slide context, and expert‑curated diagnostic concepts. It uses evolving visual representations and recursively updated slide‑ and concept‑conditioned representations, with separate attention pathways during decoding that are fused adaptively for each token. Evaluated on TCGA‑BRCA, HistAI, and REG‑2025, SCOUT outperformed existing methods, improving BLEU, METEOR, and ROUGE‑L scores and raising the Clinical Report Quality Score on REG‑2025.

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.

WILSON is a vision–language foundation model that represents whole‑slide images and multi‑slide patient cases as single multi‑magnification composite images. Trained on about 189,000 Mayo Clinic slides covering 42 organs and 829 diagnostic entities, it outperforms dedicated case‑level models on internal cohorts and matches slide‑level models while using far less compute. Fine‑tuning on triple‑negative breast cancer data improves histologic subtyping and lymphocyte grading, and the model retrieves diagnostic text with high recall and generates captions closer to report references than prior methods.
