The proliferation of machine learning models in diverse clinical applications has led to a growing need for high-fidelity medical image training data. This work experimentally establishes benchmarks that measure the relationship between a sample dataset size and the fidelity of the generated images, given the dataset's distribution of image complexities. We analyze statistical metrics based on delentropy, an image complexity measure rooted in Shannon's entropy. Across both StyleGAN 3 and SPADE-GAN, general performance improved with increasing training set size but suffered with increasing complexity.

Begin Your Journey

The application takes 10 minutes and is reviewed on a rolling basis. We look for strong technical signal—projects, coursework, or competition results—and a genuine curiosity to do real research.

If admitted, you will join a structured pipeline with direct mentorship to take your work from ideation to top conference submission at venues like NeurIPS, ACL, and EMNLP.
