Researchers have developed ADMIL, a novel framework for optimizing the inference process of pathology foundation models. ADMIL uses a lightweight tile-selection model, PriorNet, to distill the attention distribution of a more complex teacher model. This allows ADMIL to select a small subset of informative tiles for the expensive foundation model to process, significantly reducing computational costs while maintaining slide-level prediction accuracy. The framework has demonstrated its ability to match full-teacher performance with minimal tile embeddings and FLOPs across several pathology datasets, offering a more efficient solution for clinical applications.
