“…In order to replicate and validate our methodology, we followed an End-to-End data and model management process which begins with a dataset of Normal and Pneumonia chest X-rays, generating synthetic images using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and training a baseline classifier, essential in the adversarial evaluation axis, testing synthetic images against real data assessing their predictive value. The critical outcome of our approach is the post-market analysis of synthetic images. …”
