STREAM: Stochastic Riemannian Flow Matching with Anisotropic Decoder for Digital Histopathology Image Generation
Researchers have developed STREAM, a novel framework for generating synthetic histopathology images. This method addresses the issue of "conditioning collapse" seen in existing models by using pretrained Vision Foundation Models as the latent space itself. STREAM applies Riemannian flow matching to the hypersphere of these features, incorporating a unique anisotropic decoder to enhance image quality and diversity. The framework has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on datasets for breast and colorectal cancer. AI
