SheafStain: Sheaf-Theoretic Schr\"odinger Bridge for Spatially and Biologically Coherent Virtual Staining

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

SheafStain introduces a sheaf-theoretic Schr"odinger Bridge framework to improve virtual staining of gigapixel whole-slide images. By treating Vision Foundation Model features as sheaf-like sections, it integrates class and patch tokens to enforce spatial and biological coherence, mitigating patch-boundary artifacts. The method is evaluated on HER2, ER, PR, and Ki‑67 stains, outperforming six prior approaches on stitched 1024 × 1024 outputs.

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.

HERO: Histology Encoder for Robust Representation in Oncology

HERO (Histology Encoder for Robust Representation in Oncology) is a ViT‑G/14 pathology foundation model trained with DINO and iBOT objectives and refined using high‑resolution Gram anchoring on a 500‑million‑tile corpus from about 575,000 clinical whole‑slide images. It demonstrates superior robustness to center, scanner, and stain variation compared to other state‑of‑the‑art foundation models, while maintaining competitive performance on tile‑level classification, segmentation, and gene‑expression prediction. Across 39 slide‑level clinical tasks, HERO ranks first on average and achieves the best average rank across six benchmark frameworks under an equal‑weighted analysis.
