Self-Supervised Vision Transformers for High-Recall Malaria Detection in Blood Smear Images
This paper compares three machine learning approaches — a DINOv2 Vision Transformer, an EfficientNet CNN, and a logistic regression baseline — for classifying parasitized and uninfected blood cell images from the NIH Malaria Cell Images dataset. The key finding is that DINOv2 achieves the highest recall and maintains a sensitivity advantage at low prevalence, while also producing interpretable attention maps that highlight parasite-focused regions with minimal fine-tuning.
