SLICEChat: Progressive In-Encoder Token Pruning for Whole-Slide Pathology Language Models

Whole-slide pathology images (WSIs) contain gigapixel-scale visual content, creating a major scalability challenge for slide-level multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Existing approaches process thousands of patch tokens and typically apply compression only after slide encoding, leaving multimodal attention compu...
