The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded Vanderbilt University $747,533 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to develop formal verification methods for generative neural networks used in medical image analysis from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025.

Specifically, Vanderbilt University will research a robustness specification framework, formal verification methods for generative models including up-sampling layers, and consider robustness of generative adversarial networks for tasks like image synthesis. They will apply these techniques to the medical imaging tasks of segmenting brain lesions from MRI scans and synthesizing denoised optical coherence tomography retina scans. Vanderbilt aims to enhance confidence in machine learning for medical imaging through rigorous verification of neural networks. They will organize relevant competitions and develop benchmarks to advance the field.
