Destroy Me: Automatic Artifact Generation for Histopathology Images

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces "Destroy Me", a hybrid framework that generates realistic histopathology artifacts using Stable Diffusion and physics‑based modeling to create six common artifact types. Artifact realism is evaluated with KID and color Wasserstein metrics, and models trained on these augmented images outperform baselines on lung adenocarcinoma classification, achieving a 10.5% relative boost in macro F1‑score and a 15% increase in Cohen’s Kappa. The study highlights that selective, impact‑weighted augmentation is essential for enhancing robustness while preserving subtle diagnostic features.

Assessment of Conditional Diffusion Model for Synthetic Histopathology Image Generation

arXiv:2608. 03990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic histopathology image generation has emerged as an approach that may address data scarcity in computational pathology, yet current evaluation methodologies may not fully assess synthetic data quality for medical applications.

Pre-Deployment Robustness Stress Testing for CT Segmentation Systems Using Clinically Motivated Multi-Corruption Augmentation

arXiv:2606. 00491v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning-based CT segmentation systems often achieve high accuracy on clean benchmark images, but their performance may degrade under heterogeneous clinical imaging conditions such as noise, resolution loss, contrast variation, intensity shift, and artifacts.
