Digital pathology study finds tile-level AI benchmarks predict slide-level performance

A new study published on arXiv explores the efficiency of using tile-level performance as a proxy for slide-level outcomes in digital pathology. Researchers benchmarked 19 foundation models across 42 slide-level and 16 tile-level tasks, finding a high correlation between tile and slide performance. This suggests that tile-level benchmarking can effectively shortlist candidate models for whole-slide image analysis, significantly reducing computational costs associated with full slide-level pipelines.
