CRISP -- Clustering-Based Redundancy-Reduced Instance Sampling for Pathology Case Representation and Retrieval

arXiv:2605.24253v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Digital pathology archives increasingly contain multiple whole-slide images (WSIs) per case, capturing spatially distinct tumor regions and reflecting intrinsic morphological heterogeneity. However, most existing approaches rely on a single pathologist-selected slide, thereby discarding potentially informative evidence distributed across the remaining WSIs. To date, no autonomous framework has been proposed for comprehensive multi-WSI case processing. Here, we present an unsupervised framework for case-level analysis that integrates inf

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of digital pathology archives with multiple whole-slide images per case necessitates advanced computational methods to utilize this rich data effectively, which current approaches largely ignore.

Why it’s important

This development allows for a more comprehensive and automated analysis of digital pathology data, potentially leading to more accurate diagnoses and improved research insights in medical AI.

What changes

Pathology case representation and retrieval can now move beyond single-slide reliance to integrate information from multiple WSIs, enabling more robust diagnostic and research tools.
