Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression is a critical biomarker for assessing breast cancer (BC) severity and guiding targeted anti-HER2 therapies. The standard method measuring HER2 manual assessment of IHC slides by pathologists, which both time intensive prone to inter- intra-observer variability. To address these challenges, we developed an interpretable deep-learning pipeline with Correlational Attention Neural Network (Corr-A-Net) predict score from H&E images. Each prediction was accompanied confidence generated the surrogate estimation network trained using incentivized mechanism. shared correlated representations attention mechanism Corr-A-Net achieved best predictive accuracy 0.93 AUC-ROC 0.98. Additionally, demonstrated highest mean effective (MEC) 0.85 indicating robust level prediction. can have profound implications in facilitating status
