Abstract

We propose the Generalized Probabilistic U-Net, which extends the Probabilistic U-Net by allowing more general forms of the Gaussian distribution as the latent space distribution that can better approximate the uncertainty in the reference segmentations. We study the effect the choice of latent space distribution has on capturing the variation in the reference segmentations for lung tumors and white matter hyperintensities in the brain. We show that the choice of distribution affects the sample diversity of the predictions and their overlap with respect to the reference segmentations. We have made our implementation available at https://github.com/ishaanb92/GeneralizedProbabilisticUNet
