Foundation models show promise in classifying atypical mitosis in cancer research

Researchers have benchmarked deep learning and vision foundation models for classifying atypical versus normal mitosis, a crucial indicator of tumor malignancy. The study evaluated end-to-end trained models, linear probing, and fine-tuning with LoRA across multiple datasets, including newly introduced ones. Results showed average balanced accuracies up to 0.81 on in-domain data and 0.77 on out-of-domain data, demonstrating the effectiveness of transfer learning techniques for this challenging classification task.

    Benchmarking Deep Learning and Vision Foundation Models for Atypical vs. Normal Mitosis Classification with Cross-Dataset Evaluation

    arXiv:2506.21444v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Atypical mitosis marks a deviation in the cell division process that has been shown be an independent prognostic marker for tumor malignancy. However, atypical mitosis classification remains challenging due to low prevalence, at…
