Researchers have developed an efficient fine-tuning method for the DINOv3-H+ vision transformer, originally trained on natural images, to classify atypical mitotic figures (AMFs). By using low-rank adaptation (LoRA) and training only 1.3 million parameters, combined with extensive data augmentation and a domain-weighted Focal Loss, the model effectively handles domain heterogeneity. This approach achieved state-of-the-art results in the MIDOG 2025 challenge, demonstrating strong transfer learning capabilities from natural images to histopathology data. AI
