MHIST (Minimalist Histopathology image analysis dataset)
The minimalist histopathology image analysis dataset (MHIST) is a binary classification dataset of 3,152 fixed-size images of colorectal polyps, each with a gold-standard label determined by the majority vote of seven board-certified gastrointestinal pathologists. MHIST also includes each image’s annotator agreement level. As a minimalist dataset, MHIST occupies less than 400 MB of disk space, and a ResNet-18 baseline can be trained to convergence on MHIST in just 6 minutes using approximately 3.5 GB of memory on a NVIDIA RTX 3090. As example use cases, the authors use MHIST to study natural questions that arise in histopathology image classification such as how dataset size, network depth, transfer learning, and high-disagreement examples affect model performance.

Papers archive 2025-07-28
2 shown of 2 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 28. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
