Hallucination Detection in Virtually-Stained Histology: A Latent Space Baseline
arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2411.15060v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Histopathologic analysis of stained tissue remains central to biomedical research and clinical care. Virtual staining (VS) offers a promising alternative, with potential to reduce costs and streamline workflows, yet hallucinations pose serious risks to clinical reliability. Here, we formalize the problem of hallucination detection in VS and propose a scalable post-hoc method: Neural Hallucination Precursor (NHP), which leverages the generator's latent space to preemptively flag hallucinations.
