DGM4MICCAI

5th Deep Generative Models Workshop @ MICCAI 2025

Overview

Deep generative models such as Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) are currently receiving widespread attention from not only the computer vision and machine learning communities, but also in the MIC and CAI community. These models combine the advanced deep neural networks with classical density estimation (either explicit or implicit) for achieving state-of-the-art results. DGM4MICCAI workshop at MICCAI 2025 will be all about Deep Generative Models in Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions.

We are thrilled to announce the papers chosen for our long & short oral sessions at DGM4MICCAI. Congratulations to all the authors who were chosen!

We are also excited to share that hessian.AI will be sponsoring two Best Paper Awards at the DGM4MICCAI 2025 workshop.

Submission Details

The online submission for DGM4MICCAI is open until 24. June 2025, 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Contributions must be submitted online through the CMT submission system.

We seek contributions that include, but are not limited to:

  • Novel architectures, loss functions, and theoretical developments for:
    • GANs and Adversarial Learning
    • Variational Auto-Encoder
    • Disentanglement
    • Flow
    • Autoregressive models
  • Stable Diffusion Models
  • Causal generative models
  • Multi-Modality and Cross-Modality linking
  • Novel metrics and uncertainty estimates for performance assessment and interpretability of generative models
  • Generative models under limited, sparse and noisy image inputs
  • Supervised and Unsupervised Domain Adaptation, Transfer Learning and Multi-Task Learning
  • Segmentation, Detection, Synthesis, Reconstruction, Denoising, Supersampling, Registration
  • Image-to-Image translation for Synthetic Training Data Generation or Augmented Reality
  • Neural Rendering
  • Diffusion Models, Normalizing Flow Models, Invertible Networks

We particularly welcome papers driven by the theme "MIC meets CAI". Interesting novel applications of deep generative models in MIC and CAI beyond these topics are also welcome.

Workshop proceedings are published as part of Springer Nature's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Manuscripts will be reviewed in double-blinded peer-review. Please prepare your workshop papers according to the MICCAI submission guidelines (LNCS template, 8 pages maximum).
Supplementary material: PDF documents or mp4 videos, 10 MB maximum file size.

Reviewing Responsibility: At least one co-author must volunteer to review for DGM4MICCAI 2025. The submission form will request the name and email address of the qualified co-author nominated for reviewing duties.

Denoising Diffusion Models for Anomaly Localization in Medical Images

Anomaly localization in medical images remains a major challenge, especially in scenarios with limited annotations, rare diseases, or subtle pathologies. This talk explores the potential and limitations of denoising diffusion models as a deep generative tool for this task. We will highlight practical guidance mechanisms for anomaly localization and present supervision strategies ranging from fully supervised to semi-, weakly-, self-, and unsupervised approaches, discussing their respective strengths and trade-offs. Beyond methodology, the talk will address practical aspects such as datasets, evaluation metrics, and key challenges including detection bias, domain shifts, computational demands, and the transition from 2D to 3D data. By examining the current state of the art and identifying research gaps, the goal is to stimulate discussion on when, where, and how diffusion models can make a meaningful clinical impact.
