Study reveals tokenizer-generator coupling impacts medical image generation quality

Researchers have investigated the coupling between tokenizers and generators in medical image generation, specifically on the ChestMNIST dataset. Their findings indicate that the optimal tokenizer choice is dependent on the specific generator and sampler used, challenging the assumption of a fixed tokenizer. They introduced a new metric, neighbor-conditional predictive gain, which effectively distinguishes tokenizer families based on downstream generation quality, outperforming reconstruction PSNR and marginal token entropy. Experiments on LFQ-1024 with D3PM and SE-D3PM models showed significant improvements in FID scores when retuned with sampler selection. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and efficient medical image generation models by optimizing the interaction between different model components.

    Tokenizer Generator Coupling in Medical Image Generation

    arXiv:2608.07713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent medical image generators usually treat the tokenizer as fixed preprocessing. We test whether this separation is valid in a controlled ChestMNIST study at 64x64, crossing discrete tokenizers, generator families, and sampler …
