• Abstract: In digital pathology, the spatial context of cells is important for cell classification, cancer diagnosis and prognosis. To model such complex cell context, however, is challenging. Cells form different mixtures, lineages, clusters and holes. To model such structural patterns in a learnable fashion, we introduce several mathematical tools from spatial statistics and topological data analysis. We incorporate such structural descriptors into a deep generative model as both conditional inputs and a differentiable loss. This way, we are able to generate high quality multi-class cell layouts for the first time. We show that the topology-rich cell layouts can be used for data augmentation and improve the performance of downstream tasks such as cell classification.

  We propose a universal cell nucleus classification framework (UniCell) It employs a novel prompt learning mechanism to uniformly predict the corresponding categories of pathological images from different dataset domains. In particular, our framework adopts an end-to-end architecture for nuclei detection and classification, and utilizes flexible prediction heads for adapting various datasets.
