• Authors: Nicolas Brieu, Felix J. Segerer, Ansh Kapil, Philipp Wortmann, Guenter Schmidt
• Abstract summary: CycleGAN is state of the art for the stain translation of histopathology images. It often suffers from the presence of cycle-consistent but non structure-preserving errors. We propose an alternative approach to the set of methods which, relying on segmentation consistency, enable the preservation of pathology structures.

• Abstract: Unsupervised and unpaired domain translation using generative adversarial neural networks, and more precisely CycleGAN, is state of the art for the stain translation of histopathology images. It often, however, suffers from the presence of cycle-consistent but non structure-preserving errors. We propose an alternative approach to the set of methods which, relying on segmentation consistency, enable the preservation of pathology structures. Focusing on immunohistochemistry (IHC) and multiplexed immunofluorescence (mIF), we introduce a simple yet effective guidance scheme as a loss function that leverages the consistency of stain translation with stain isolation. Qualitative and quantitative experiments show the ability of the proposed approach to improve translation between the two domains.

  Cycle Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are well established but associated cycle consistency constrain relies on that an invertible mapping exists between the two domains. We propose - through the introduction of a novel training design - an alternative constrain leveraging a set of immunofluorescence (IF) images as an auxiliary unpaired image domain.

  We investigate the vulnerability of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models to adversarial attacks and propose a new attack algorithm called TransFool. We generate fluent adversarial examples in the source language that maintain a high level of semantic similarity with the clean samples. Based on automatic and human evaluations, TransFool leads to improvement in terms of success rate, semantic similarity, and fluency compared to the existing attacks.
