• Abstract summary: Whole slide images (WSI) provide valuable phenotypic information for histological malignancy assessment and grading of tumors. The most commonly used WSI are derived from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and frozen sections. Here we propose a mutual contrastive learning scheme to integrate FFPE and frozen sections and disentangle cross-modality representations for glioma grading.

• Abstract: Whole slide images (WSI) provide valuable phenotypic information for histological assessment and malignancy grading of tumors. The WSI-based computational pathology promises to provide rapid diagnostic support and facilitate digital health. The most commonly used WSI are derived from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and frozen sections. Currently, the majority of automatic tumor grading models are developed based on FFPE sections, which could be affected by the artifacts introduced by tissue processing. Here we propose a mutual contrastive learning scheme to integrate FFPE and frozen sections and disentangle cross-modality representations for glioma grading. We first design a mutual learning scheme to jointly optimize the model training based on FFPE and frozen sections. Further, we develop a multi-modality domain alignment mechanism to ensure semantic consistency in the backbone model training. We finally design a sphere normalized temperature-scaled cross-entropy loss (NT-Xent), which could promote cross-modality representation disentangling of FFPE and frozen sections. Our experiments show that the proposed scheme achieves better performance than the model trained based on each single modality or mixed modalities. The sphere NT-Xent loss outperforms other typical metrics loss functions.

  Face Forgery Detection aims to determine whether a digital face is real or fake. Previous FFD models directly employ existing backbones to represent and extract forgery cues. We propose leveraging the ViT network with self-supervised learning on real-face datasets to pre-train a backbone. We then build a competitive backbone fine-tuning framework that strengthens the backbone's ability to extract diverse forgery cues.

  The rapid development of photo-realistic face generation methods has raised significant concerns in society and academia. Although existing approaches mainly capture face forgery patterns using image modality, other modalities like fine-grained noises and texts are not fully explored. We propose a novel multi-modal fine-grained CLIP (MFCLIP) model, which mines comprehensive and fine-grained forgery traces across image-noise modalities.
