RACR-MIL: Rank-aware contextual reasoning for weakly supervised grading of squamous cell carcinoma using whole slide images

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

RACR-MIL is a weakly‑supervised method for grading squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from whole‑slide images, using an attention‑based multiple‑instance learning framework. It introduces a hybrid WSI graph to capture local tissue context and non‑local phenotypic dependencies, and applies rank‑ordering constraints on attention to prioritize higher‑grade tumor regions, mirroring pathologists’ diagnostic reasoning. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, improving SCC grading accuracy by 3–9% over existing methods and up to 10% in tumor localization, and a pilot study showed pathologists reported increased grading efficiency in 60% of cases.

Aligning Cellular Sheaves with Classifier Attention for Interpretable Weakly-Supervised Pathology Localization

arXiv:2606. 00092v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Weakly-supervised classification of whole-slide images with attention-based multiple instance learning (ABMIL) on top of foundation features now reaches near-saturation on Camelyon16 slide-level performance, but the corresponding attention maps are an imperfect localization signal: in clinical interpretation, a model that classifies correctly without firing on the actual lesion is hard to trust.

A Dual Cross-Attention Framework for Colposcopic CIN Grading and Swede Score Prediction Using a New Multi-Center Dataset

The paper introduces a dual cross‑attention deep learning framework for automated grading of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) and prediction of Swede scores, using a newly released BUET Multi‑Center Colposcopy Dataset. The architecture fuses paired multimodal cervigrams and employs a custom composite loss to handle class imbalance, achieving 71.85% accuracy and 86.23% AUC‑ROC for three‑class CIN grading, and AUC‑ROC values between 75.7% and 88.4% for individual Swede score components. The total predicted Swede Score has a mean absolute error of 1.489, indicating potential for AI‑assisted colposcopy screening in resource‑limited settings.

Integrating Local Detail and Global Context: A Dual-Input Multi-Task Learning Framework for Bone Tumor Diagnosis

The paper introduces a dual‑input, multi‑task learning framework that jointly segments and classifies bone tumors by applying bidirectional cross‑modal attention between a lesion crop and the full radiograph. Using a YOLO‑based detector and a dual‑stream DenseNet121 architecture, the model fuses fine‑grained lesion detail with global anatomical context through a novel cross‑modal attention fusion strategy and hierarchical multi‑scale feature fusion. On the multi‑institutional Bone Tumor X‑ray Radiograph Dataset, the approach outperforms single‑input baselines, achieving a Dice coefficient of 0.896 and a macro‑averaged F1‑score of 0.928, with an AUC of 0.999 for malignant osteosarcoma.
