Recent literature on calibrating deep segmentation networks has resulted in substantial progress. Nevertheless, these approaches are strongly inspired by the advancements in classification tasks, and thus their uncertainty is usually modeled by leveraging the information of individual pixels, disregarding the local structure of the object of interest. Indeed, only the recent <em>Spatially Varying Label Smoothing (SVLS)</em> approach considers pixel spatial relationships across classes, by softening the pixel label assignments with a discrete spatial Gaussian kernel. In this work, we first present a constrained optimization perspective of SVLS and demonstrate that it enforces an implicit constraint on soft class proportions of surrounding pixels. Furthermore, our analysis shows that SVLS lacks a mechanism to balance the contribution of the constraint with the primary objective, potentially hindering the optimization process. Based on these observations, we propose NACL (Neighbor Aware CaLibration), a principled and simple solution based on equality constraints on the logit values, which enables to control explicitly both the enforced constraint and the weight of the penalty, offering more flexibility. Comprehensive experiments on a wide variety of well-known segmentation benchmarks demonstrate the superior calibration performance of the proposed approach, without affecting its discriminative power. Furthermore, ablation studies empirically show the model agnostic nature of our approach, which can be used to train a wide span of deep segmentation networks.

However, learning segmentation networks from multi-source annotations remains a challenge due to the uncertainties brought by the variance of the annotations. In this paper, we proposed an Uncertainty-guided Multi-source Annotation Network (UMA-Net), which guided the training process by uncertainty estimation at both the pixel and the image levels. First, we developed an annotation uncertainty estimation module (AUEM) to estimate the pixel-wise uncertainty of each annotation, which then guided the network to learn from reliable pixels by a weighted segmentation loss. Second, a quality assessment module (QAM) was proposed to assess the image-level quality of the input samples based on the former estimated annotation uncertainties. Furthermore, instead of discarding the low-quality samples, we introduced an auxiliary predictor to learn from them and thus ensured the preservation of their representation knowledge in the backbone without directly accumulating errors within the primary predictor. Extensive experiments demonstrated the effectiveness and feasibility of our proposed UMA-Net on various datasets, including 2D chest X-ray segmentation dataset, 2D fundus image segmentation dataset, 3D breast DCE-MRI segmentation dataset, and the QUBIQ multi-task segmentation dataset.

However, existing approaches lack a theoretically grounded framework to capture the holistic distributional differences between the patch sets within WSIs, limiting their ability to accurately and comprehensively model the underlying pathology. To address this limitation, we introduce HistoKernel, a novel WSI-level Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) kernel designed to quantify distributional similarity between WSIs using their local feature representation. HistoKernel enables a wide range of applications, including classification, regression, retrieval, clustering, survival analysis, multimodal data integration, and visualization of large WSI datasets. Additionally, HistoKernel offers a novel perturbation-based method for patch-level explainability. Our analysis over large pan-cancer datasets shows that HistoKernel achieves performance that typically matches or exceeds existing state-of-the-art methods across diverse tasks, including WSI retrieval (n = 9324), drug sensitivity regression (n = 551), point mutation classification (n = 3419), and survival analysis (n = 2291).
