Synergistic Information Disentanglement for Omni-modal Slide Representation Learning in Computational Pathology

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces Φ-Omni, a self‑supervised learning framework for computational pathology that disentangles synergistic information across histology, genomics, and clinical reports using Partial Information Decomposition. By employing a Synergistic Information Bottleneck and a ΦID objective, the method suppresses redundant signals while maximizing irreducible cross‑modal synergy, leading to improved few‑shot performance on breast and lung whole‑slide image datasets. The authors demonstrate that Φ-Omni outperforms both supervised and other SSL baselines on eight external tasks.

The Predictability Bias of Joint-Embedding Predictive Learning in Medical Imaging

The paper introduces TAP-JEPA, a joint‑embedding predictive architecture trained on over 113,000 CT volumes, which achieves performance comparable to leading encoders in scan‑level classification. It demonstrates a predictability bias: while anatomy is largely predictable from context, pathology is not, leading to significant degradation in pathology detection when predictions are applied. The study audits the model’s predictive pathway, showing that pathology representations shift toward control regions and that removing pathology tokens minimally affects downstream decisions, underscoring that contextual predictability alone is insufficient for clinical relevance.
