The paper introduces the Semantic-Aware Subgraph State Space Model (SASG-SSM) for classifying whole slide images in histopathology. It groups spatially connected patches into semantic subgraphs that preserve internal spatial organization, then uses a graph neural network encoder combined with a Mamba-based state space encoder to integrate local and global contextual information. Experiments on four WSI subtyping datasets show consistent performance gains over state‑of‑the‑art methods, with additional robustness in small‑cohort and few‑shot scenarios.

Whole slide image (WSI) classification is an evidence-driven task, where diagnostic cues are often sparse, spatially organized, and class-dependent. Existing MIL and vision-language methods aggregate a large pool of patch features into a single global slide representation.
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.
