• Abstract summary: This work proposes a method that constructs structured textual prompts from automatically extracted image features. We show that including image-derived features in the prompt, as opposed to only healthy and cancerous labels, improves the Fr'echet Inception Distance (FID) from 178.8 to 90.2. We also show that pathologists find it challenging to detect synthetic images, with a median sensitivity/specificity of 0.55/0.55.

• Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) based image analysis has an immense potential to support diagnostic histopathology, including cancer diagnostics. However, developing supervised AI methods requires large-scale annotated datasets. A potentially powerful solution is to augment training data with synthetic data. Latent diffusion models, which can generate high-quality, diverse synthetic images, are promising. However, the most common implementations rely on detailed textual descriptions, which are not generally available in this domain. This work proposes a method that constructs structured textual prompts from automatically extracted image features. We experiment with the PCam dataset, composed of tissue patches only loosely annotated as healthy or cancerous. We show that including image-derived features in the prompt, as opposed to only healthy and cancerous labels, improves the Fr\'echet Inception Distance (FID) from 178.8 to 90.2. We also show that pathologists find it challenging to detect synthetic images, with a median sensitivity/specificity of 0.55/0.55. Finally, we show that synthetic data effectively trains AI models.

  We propose a zero-shot entropy-based detector (ZED) to detect AI-generated images. Inspired by recent works on machine-generated text detection, our idea is to measure how surprising the image under analysis is compared to a model of real images. ZED achieves an average improvement of more than 3% over the SoTA in terms of accuracy.
