Hybrid Feature Fusion & Incremental Learning
The core methodology combines traditional handcrafted features (LBP, GLCM, wavelet, color, morphological) with deep features from an extended EfficientNetB0. A transformer-based attention fusion strategy enables robust multi-scale feature learning. The adaptive incremental learning approach with stage-wise data augmentation enhances adaptability and curtails catastrophic forgetting.
This innovative blend ensures comprehensive feature capture and robust model evolution, crucial for complex histopathological images.
Benchmark Performance & External Validation
The proposed method achieved 99.87% accuracy on the LC25000 dataset, with consistent high performance on independent datasets: 99.07% on NCT-CRC-HE-100K and 98.4% on HMU-GC-HE-30K. Precision, recall, and F1-scores consistently exceeded 98% across all datasets and classes, affirming the framework's reliability and generalizability.
These results significantly outperform existing state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating the superior diagnostic capabilities of our hybrid AI model.
Generalizability & Clinical Applicability
The framework's consistent high performance across diverse datasets, including those with real-world histological variability and staining inconsistencies, underscores its exceptional generalizability. This adaptability is critical for clinical deployment in varied settings, addressing a key limitation of many single-model approaches.
The fusion of diverse feature types and adaptive learning ensures robust decision-making and interpretability, making it highly applicable for multi-class histopathological image classification in oncology.

Case Study: Cross-Dataset Generalizability
Description: The primary challenge in deploying AI for histopathological analysis is ensuring robust performance across varied clinical environments, characterized by differences in staining, image quality, and anatomical sites.
Challenge: Traditional models often overfit to specific datasets, leading to significant performance drops when applied to new, unseen data from different labs or patient populations.
Solution: Our framework addresses this through a hybrid feature approach, transformer-based fusion for adaptive feature weighting, and incremental learning to continuously adapt without catastrophic forgetting. This strategy explicitly trains the model to generalize.
Outcome: Validated on LC25000, NCT-CRC-HE-100K, and HMU-GC-HE-30K, the model achieved accuracies of 99.87%, 99.07%, and 98.4% respectively. This consistent high performance demonstrates exceptional generalizability, proving its clinical viability across diverse real-world conditions.
