• Abstract: Whole Slide Image (WSI) classification has very significant applications in clinical pathology, e.g., tumor identification and cancer diagnosis. Currently, most research attention is focused on Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) using static datasets. One of the most obvious weaknesses of these methods is that they cannot efficiently preserve and utilize previously learned knowledge. With any new data arriving, classification models are required to be re-trained on both previous and current new data. To overcome this shortcoming and break through traditional vision modality, this paper proposes the first Vision-Language-based framework with Queryable Prototype Multiple Instance Learning (QPMIL-VL) specially designed for incremental WSI classification. This framework mainly consists of two information processing branches. One is for generating the bag-level feature by prototype-guided aggregating on the instance features. While the other is for enhancing the class feature through class ensemble, tunable vector and class similarity loss. The experiments on four TCGA datasets demonstrate that our QPMIL-VL framework is effective for incremental WSI classification and often significantly outperforms other compared methods, achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance.

  Generalized category discovery (GCD) aims to automatically cluster partially labeled data. Unlabeled data contain instances that are not only from known categories of the labeled data but also from novel categories. One effective way for GCD is applying self-supervised learning to learn discriminate representation for unlabeled data. We propose a Dynamic Conceptional Contrastive Learning framework, which can effectively improve clustering accuracy.
