Abstract

Pathology foundation models improve transferable representation learning for histopathology, but recent gains often rely on encoders with hundreds of millions of parameters and high inference cost. We propose TAP-Path, a task-adaptive compression framework that directly restructures a pretrained Virchow2 encoder rather than distilling it into a separate student. TAP-Path combines validation-driven
