Proteins encode diverse functions within complex three-dimensional structures, yet most deep learning representations remain highly entangled, obscuring the biophysical signals that underlie function. Here we introduce ProtDiS, a knowledge-guided framework that decomposes pretrained protein micro-en…
Conventional whole slide image (WSI) analysis pipelines follow a two-stage process. First, an image encoder, such as a vision transformer (ViT), is used to perform batched offline feature extraction on a series of tiles cropped from the WSI. Second, a multiple instance learning (MIL) model is traine
Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) consists of two stages: feature encoding of instances and feature fusion of instances. This paper identifies two issues in the feature fusion stage of MIL when applied to pathological image classification, which creates performance bottlenecks. First, previous MIL me…
Histopathological whole slide images (WSIs) classification has become a foundation task in medical microscopic imaging processing. Prevailing approaches involve learning WSIs as instance-bag representations emphasizing significant instances but struggling to capture the interactions between instance…
To deploy neural networks on clinical edge devices, quantization is the most commonly used method to compress the models, which requires a calibration set of hundreds of real images. However, due to privacy concerns, the scarcity of private histopathological images hinders the application of quantiz…
Quantization is an effective way to compress neural networks. By reducing the bit width of the parameters, the processing efficiency of neural network models at edge devices can be notably improved. Most conventional quantization methods utilize real datasets to optimize quantization parameters and…
