						**Patho-Bench is designed to evaluate patch and slide encoder foundation models for whole-slide images (WSIs).**  | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						This HuggingFace repository contains the data splits for the public Patho-Bench tasks. Please visit our codebase on [GitHub](https://github.com/mahmoodlab/Patho-Bench) for the full codebase and benchmark implementation. | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						|

							 | 
						> Contributions are welcome! If you'd like to submit a new dataset and/or task for inclusion in Patho-Bench, please reach out to us via the [Issues](https://github.com/mahmoodlab/Patho-Bench/issues) tab of our Github repo. | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						Currently, Patho-Bench contains the following task families. We will add more tasks in the future. For further details on each task, please refer to the [THREADS foundation model paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.16652). |

						| 
							 | 
						## ⚡ Installation | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						Install the required packages: | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						``` | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						pip install --upgrade datasets | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						pip install --upgrade huggingface_hub | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						``` | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						## 🔑 Authentication | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						```python | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						from huggingface_hub import login | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						login(token="YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN") | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						``` | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						## ⬇️ Usage | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						The Patho-Bench data splits are designed for use with the Patho-Bench [software package](https://github.com/mahmoodlab/Patho-Bench). However, you are welcome to use the data splits in your custom pipeline. Each task is associated with a YAML file containing task metadata and a TSV file containing the sample IDs, slide IDs, and labels. | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						> [!NOTE] | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						> Patho-Bench only provides the data splits and labels, NOT the raw image data. You will need to download the raw image data from the respective dataset repositories (see links below). | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						### Download an individual task |
