Description

The research project is part of the European project SYNTHIA and focuses on the development of advanced AI methodologies for synthetic data generation in healthcare, with particular emphasis on medical and histopathological imaging and structured longitudinal clinical data. The research activities will have a strong methodological focus and will include: • development and analysis of mathematical and computational models for complex biomedical data; • application of advanced generative models, including probabilistic approaches, deep generative models and continuous normalizing flows; • use of optimal transport and conditional generation techniques to preserve statistical structure and clinically relevant properties; • generation and integration of multimodal synthetic data (medical imaging, histopathology and clinical data); • definition and evaluation of quantitative quality metrics for synthetic data, addressing fidelity, utility, robustness, bias and privacy.
