Abstract: Highlights•An optimized novel coupled transformer-convolution network for leukemia detection.•Correlated global and spatial features help in identifying hematological malignancies.•Graph-based feature reconstruction module to capture hidden features of leukocytes.•A deep synthetic leukocyte generator is devised to mitigate data imbalance issues.•Extensive evaluations signify efficacy on four datasets with more than 16,982 WSIs.
