EXAONEPath

EXAONEPath 1.0 Patch-level Foundation Model for Pathology

[Paper] [Github] [Model] [BibTeX]

Introduction

We introduce EXAONEPath, a patch-level pathology pretrained model with 86 million parameters. The model was pretrained on 285,153,903 patches extracted from a total of 34,795 WSIs. EXAONEPath demonstrates superior performance considering the number of WSIs used and the model's parameter count.

Quickstart

Load EXAONEPath and run inference on tile-level images.

1. Install the requirements and the package

git clone https://github.com/LG-AI-EXAONE/EXAONEPath.git
cd EXAONEPath
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Load the model & Inference

Load with HuggingFace

import torch
from PIL import Image
from macenko import macenko_normalizer
import torchvision.transforms as transforms
from vision_transformer import VisionTransformer

hf_token = "YOUR_HUGGING_FACE_ACCESS_TOKEN"
model = VisionTransformer.from_pretrained("LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONEPath", use_auth_token=hf_token)

transform = transforms.Compose(
    [
        transforms.Resize(256, interpolation=transforms.InterpolationMode.BICUBIC),
        transforms.CenterCrop(224),
        transforms.Normalize(mean=(0.485, 0.456, 0.406), std=(0.229, 0.224, 0.225)),
    ]
)

normalizer = macenko_normalizer()
img_path = "images/MHIST_aaa.png"
image = Image.open(img_path).convert("RGB")
image_macenko = normalizer(image)

sample_input = transform(image_macenko).unsqueeze(0)
model.cuda()
model.eval()

features = model(sample_input.cuda())

Load Manually

First, download the EXAONEPath model checkpoint from here

import torch
from PIL import Image
from macenko import macenko_normalizer
import torchvision.transforms as transforms
from vision_transformer import vit_base

file_path = "MODEL_CHECKPOINT_PATH"
checkpoint = torch.load(file_path, map_location=torch.device('cpu'))
state_dict = checkpoint['state_dict']
model = vit_base(patch_size=16, num_classes=0)
msg = model.load_state_dict(state_dict, strict=False)
print(f'Pretrained weights found at {file_path} and loaded with msg: {msg}')

transform = transforms.Compose(
    [
        transforms.Resize(256, interpolation=transforms.InterpolationMode.BICUBIC),
        transforms.CenterCrop(224),
        transforms.Normalize(mean=(0.485, 0.456, 0.406), std=(0.229, 0.224, 0.225)),
    ]
)

normalizer = macenko_normalizer()
img_path = "images/MHIST_aaa.png"
image = Image.open(img_path).convert("RGB")
image_macenko = normalizer(image)

sample_input = transform(image_macenko).unsqueeze(0)
model.cuda()
model.eval()

features = model(sample_input.cuda())

Model Performance Comparison

We report linear evaluation result on six downstream tasks. Top-1 accuracy is shown, with values for models other than Gigapath taken from the RudolfV paper.
