• Abstract summary: nuclei detection and classification can produce effective information for disease diagnosis. Most existing methods classify nuclei independently or do not make full use of the semantic similarity between nuclei and their grouping features. We propose a novel end-to-end nuclei detection and classification framework based on a grouping transformer-based classifier.

• Abstract: Automatic nuclei detection and classification can produce effective information for disease diagnosis. Most existing methods classify nuclei independently or do not make full use of the semantic similarity between nuclei and their grouping features. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end nuclei detection and classification framework based on a grouping transformer-based classifier. The nuclei classifier learns and updates the representations of nuclei groups and categories via hierarchically grouping the nucleus embeddings. Then the cell types are predicted with the pairwise correlations between categorical embeddings and nucleus features. For the efficiency of the fully transformer-based framework, we take the nucleus group embeddings as the input prompts of backbone, which helps harvest grouping guided features by tuning only the prompts instead of the whole backbone. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the existing models on three datasets.

  NucleiMix is designed to balance the distribution of nuclei types by increasing the number of rare-type nuclei within datasets. In the first phase, it identifies candidate locations similar to the surroundings of rare-type nuclei and inserts rare-type nuclei into the candidate locations. In the second phase, it employs a progressive inpainting strategy using a pre-trained diffusion model to seamlessly integrate rare-type nuclei into their new environments.

  Most neural network based methods are affected by the local receptive field of convolutions. We propose a novel polygon-structure feature learning mechanism that transforms a nucleus contour into a sequence of points sampled in order. Next, we convert a histopathology image into a graph structure with nuclei as nodes, and build a graph neural network to embed the spatial distribution of nuclei into their representations.
