\ When a sample comprises multiple images, it is imperative to consider MIL feature aggregation from different perspectives. In the context of individual images, each image can be treated as a ’bag,’ and each patch within the image as an ’instance.’ From the sample’s perspective, each sample can also be regarded as a ’bag,’ with each image within the sample as an ’instance.’ When a sample contains only a single image, we can focus primarily on the former perspective since the latter perspective involves a single instance per bag. However, in a more general context, it is essential to adopt a hierarchical approach when considering the utilization of MIL for feature aggregation. Without loss of generality, we now consider the input of the MIVPG to be a bag B containing multiple instances. Hence, the cross-attention can be expressed as Attention(Q = q, K = B, V = B).
