    Automated classification of bone marrow cells is crucial for diagnosing hematological disorders but faces challenges like morphological overlap and class imbalance.

  • 2

    An ensemble-learning framework combining MobileNetV3 and ResNet18 was developed to enhance classification performance while maintaining low computational costs.

  • 3

    Boosting achieved the highest classification accuracy of 96%, with external validation confirming robust performance across various imaging conditions.

  • 4

    The ensemble model outperformed individual models in accuracy and interpretability, focusing on relevant morphological features for clinical plausibility.

  • 5

    The proposed framework supports AI-assisted hematological diagnostics, potentially reducing diagnostic time and interobserver variability.
