LRMIL: Efficient Low-Resolution Multiple Instance Learning via High-Resolution Knowledge Distillation for Whole Slide Image Classification
arXiv:2606.06864v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multiple instance learning (MIL) has become a standard paradigm for whole slide image (WSI) analysis in digital pathology, as it enables slide-level prediction without dense annotations. Existing MIL methods typically rely on exhaustive extraction and encoding of high-resolution patches. However, this practice suffers from two critical limitations in real-world clinical settings: it struggles to capture global visual cues at lower magnifications, and incurs substantial computational overhead due to the massive number of high-resolution patches
The paper addresses current computational limitations in digital pathology for whole slide image classification, a growing area in AI-driven healthcare.
This research introduces a more efficient method for medical image analysis, potentially accelerating diagnostic processes and reducing the computational burden associated with high-resolution data.
The proposed LRMIL method could reduce the computational overhead and improve the capture of global visual cues in whole slide image analysis, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
