HintsOfTruth: A Multimodal Checkworthiness Detection Dataset with Real and Synthetic Claims
Misinformation can be countered with fact-checking, but the process is costly and slow. Identifying checkworthy claims is the first step, where automation can help scale fact-checkers' efforts. However, detection methods struggle with content that is (1) multimodal, (2) from diverse domains, and (3) synthetic. We introduce HintsOfTruth, a public dataset for multimodal checkworthiness detection with 27K real-world and synthetic image/claim pairs. The mix of real and synthetic data makes this dat…

Synthetic multi-inversion time magnetic resonance images for visualization of subcortical structures
Purpose: Visualization of subcortical gray matter is essential in neuroscience and clinical practice, particularly for disease understanding and surgical planning.While multi-inversion time (multi-TI) T$_1$-weighted (T$_1$-w) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging improves visualization, it is rarely acquired in clinical settings. Approach: We present SyMTIC (Synthetic Multi-TI Contrasts), a deep learning method that generates synthetic multi-TI images using routinely acquired T$_1$-w, T$_2$-weighted …

On the Synthetic Channels in Polar Codes over Binary-Input Discrete Memoryless Channels
Polar codes introduced by Arikan in 2009 are the first code family achieving the capacity of binary-input discrete memoryless channels (BIDMCs) with low-complexity encoding and decoding. Identifying unreliable synthetic channels in polar code construction is crucial. Currently, because of the large size of the output alphabets of synthetic channels, there is no effective approach to evaluate their reliability, except in the case that the underlying channels are binary erasure channels. This pap…

On the geometry of synthetic null hypersurfaces
This paper develops a synthetic framework for the geometric and analytic study of null (lightlike) hypersurfaces in non-smooth spacetimes. Drawing from optimal transport and recent advances in Lorentzian geometry and causality theory, we define a synthetic null hypersurface as a triple $(H, G, \mathfrak{m})$: $H$ is a closed achronal set in a topological causal space, $G$ is a gauge function encoding affine parametrizations along null generators, and $\mathfrak{m}$ is a Radon measure serving as…

SMOTE-DP: Improving Privacy-Utility Tradeoff with Synthetic Data
Privacy-preserving data publication, including synthetic data sharing, often experiences trade-offs between privacy and utility. Synthetic data is generally more effective than data anonymization in balancing this trade-off, however, not without its own challenges. Synthetic data produced by generative models trained on source data may inadvertently reveal information about outliers. Techniques specifically designed for preserving privacy, such as introducing noise to satisfy differential priva…

Hybrid Ensemble of Segmentation-Assisted Classification and GBDT for Skin Cancer Detection with Engineered Metadata and Synthetic Lesions from ISIC 2024 Non-Dermoscopic 3D-TBP Images
Skin cancer is among the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases worldwide, with early detection being critical to patient outcomes. This work presents a hybrid machine and deep learning-based approach for classifying malignant and benign skin lesions using the SLICE-3D dataset from ISIC 2024, which comprises 401,059 cropped lesion images extracted from 3D Total Body Photography (TBP), emulating non-dermoscopic, smartphone-like conditions. Our method combines vision transformers (EVA02) an…
