The pathology foundation model UNI2-h achieved the highest cross-domain accuracy on an external mixed human-and-animal cohort, including 97.4% F1 for difficult lung tissue classification.
On 2026-08-16, a peer-reviewed study reported a comparative evaluation of nine deep learning encoders for H&E histology classification. Models were trained on 4307 male rat tissue images and tested on a separate 600-image mixed human-and-animal cohort using frozen features and a linear probe, measuring accuracy, F1, kappa, ROC-AUC and inference time.
