New framework explains gene expression predictions from pathology images

Researchers have developed a novel framework to explain gene expression predictions from H&E stained pathology images using vision transformers. This framework combines relevance propagation with concept discovery to link morphological features to transcriptional programs, offering both local and global insights. Applied to colorectal cancer data, the approach accurately predicts clinically relevant signatures and molecular phenotypes, demonstrating its potential for a broader range of ViT-based pathology models.

    Concept-based explanation of gene expression prediction from H&E images

    arXiv:2608.16669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in pathology foundation models have enabled accurate prediction of spatial transcriptomics (ST) from routine H&E images. However, existing explainability methods for vision transformer (ViT)-based models are larg…
