Researchers have proposed two hypotheses to evaluate causal inference methods in whole-slice image classification, particularly for digital pathology applications like breast cancer diagnosis. The first hypothesis suggests that causal inference introduces an independent classification channel that enhances WSI classification accuracy. The second hypothesis posits that a larger difference between features extracted by new and baseline channels improves the elimination of false correlations, thereby increasing the effectiveness of these methods. These hypotheses were tested on breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer datasets, offering a new theoretical framework for applying causal inference to WSI analysis. AI
