Researchers have developed a novel graph-based multiple instance learning framework that integrates both implicit and explicit relational biases for improved image classification. The approach begins with an EfficientNetB3 baseline, then uses a convolutional masked autoencoder to learn implicit relationships between image patches. Explicit relational modeling is introduced by organizing these learned embeddings into various graph topologies, such as grid-based or k-nearest neighbor structures. Experiments on skin lesion diagnosis benchmarks, ISIC-2018 and ISIC-2019, demonstrated that this combined approach significantly outperforms the baseline and the implicit-only method, with the grid-structured Graph Attention Network achieving the highest balanced accuracy.
