Quantifying the uncertainty of model-based synthetic image quality metrics

Ciaran Bench, Spencer A. Thomas

The quality of synthetically generated images (e.g. those produced by diffusion models) are often evaluated using information about image contents encoded by pretrained auxiliary m…

Style transfer as data augmentation: evaluating unpaired image-to-image translation models in mammography

Emir Ahmed, Spencer A. Thomas, Ciaran Bench

Several studies indicate that deep learning models can learn to detect breast cancer from mammograms (X-ray images of the breasts). However, challenges with overfitting and poor ge…

Trustworthy image-to-image translation: evaluating uncertainty calibration in unpaired training scenarios

Ciaran Bench, Emir Ahmed, Spencer A. Thomas

Mammographic screening is an effective method for detecting breast cancer, facilitating early diagnosis. However, the current need to manually inspect images places a heavy burden…
