ALICE: Learning a General-Purpose Pathology Foundation Model from Vision, Vision-Language, and Slide-Level Experts
Jiawen Li, Tian Guan, Huijuan Shi, Xitong Ling, Mingxi Fu, Anjia Han, et al.
Foundation models are reshaping computational pathology, yet their capabilities remain shaped by pretraining objectives, data sources, and spatial scales, fragmenting complementary expertise across separate backbones. Here we present ALICE, a unified foundation model trained thro…
