This study investigates the efficacy of transformer-based deep learning architectures--specifically, Vision Transformer (ViT), Class Attention in Image Transformers (CaiT), and Data-Efficient Image Transformers (DeiT)--for the binary classification of colorectal polyps using the Minimalist Histopathology Image Analysis Dataset (MHIST). The dataset comprises 3,152 hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained Formalin Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) images annotated as either Hyperplastic Polyps (HP) or Ses...
