• Abstract summary: We extend the classic GAN setup with an external memory to replay features from real samples. We show that our extended setup increases convergence and more importantly, it is effective in capturing the severe class imbalanced distributions common to real world clinical data.

• Abstract: Clinical data usually cannot be freely distributed due to their highly confidential nature and this hampers the development of machine learning in the healthcare domain. One way to mitigate this problem is by generating realistic synthetic datasets using generative adversarial networks (GANs). However, GANs are known to suffer from mode collapse and thus creating outputs of low diveristy. In this paper, we extend the classic GAN setup with an external memory to replay features from real samples. Using antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (ART for HIV) as a case study, we show that our extended setup increases convergence and more importantly, it is effective in capturing the severe class imbalanced distributions common to real world clinical data.

  In Canada, prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men and accounted for 20% of new cancer cases for this demographic in 2022. There has been significant interest in the development of deep neural networks for prostate cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning using diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) data. In this study, we explore the efficacy of latent diffusion for generating realistic prostate DWI data through the introduction of an anatomic-conditional controlled latent diffusion strategy.
