Dual-stream attention-guided learning for weakly supervised whole slide image classification
Researchers have developed a new framework called Dual-Stream Attention-Guided Learning (DSAGL) to improve the accuracy of cancer diagnosis from whole slide images. This method addresses limitations in existing multiple instance learning techniques by better identifying critical local regions within images using only slide-level labels. DSAGL employs a teacher-student dual-stream architecture and generates attention-guided pseudo labels to mitigate ambiguity, showing superior performance over current state-of-the-art methods in experiments.
