SAGE: Shape-Adapting Gated Experts for Adaptive Histopathology Image Segmentation

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2511.18493v3 Announce Type: replace-cross The significant variability in cell size and shape continues to pose a major obstacle in computer-assisted cancer detection on gigapixel Whole Slide Images (WSIs), due to cellular heterogeneity. Current CNN-Transformer hybrids use static computation graphs with fixed routing. This leads to extra computation and makes it harder to adapt to changes in input. We propose Shape-Adapting Gated Experts (SAGE), an input-adaptive framework that enables dynamic expert routing in heterogeneous visual networks.
