Pretraining Multiple Instance Learning Networks with Multi-Teacher Distillation from Pathology Slide Foundation Models
Mingxi Fu, Jiawen Li, Renao Yan, Jiali Hu, Qiehe Sun, Tian Guan, et al.
Multiple instance learning (MIL) has become the main paradigm for whole-slide image (WSI) analysis in computational pathology. However, existing MIL aggregators are still typically trained from scratch for each downstream task, relying on limited slide-level labels to learn both…
