Abstract

MOTIVATION: The classification task based on whole-slide images (WSIs) is a classic problem in computational pathology. Multiple instance learning (MIL) provides a robust framework for analyzing whole slide images with slide-level labels at gigapixel resolution. However, existing MIL models typically focus on modeling the relationships between instances while neglecting the variability across the channel dimensions of instances, which prevents the model from fully capturing critical information in the channel dimension.
