deep learning

OrganoID is an image analysis platform that automatically recognizes, labels, and tracks single organoids, pixel-by-pixel, in brightfield and phase-contrast microscopy experiments. The platform was trained on images of pancreatic cancer organoids and validated on separate images of pancreatic, lung, colon, and adenoid cystic carcinoma organoids.

This workflow applies a Stardist pre-trained model (versatile_fluo or versatile_HE) depending on the input images ie. uses both models for a dataset including both fluorescence (grayscale or RGB where all channels are equal) and H&E stained (RGB where channels are not equal) images.

This version uses tensorflow CPU version (See Dockerfile) to ensure compatibility with a larger number of computers. A GPU version should be possible by adapting the Dockerfile with tensorflow-gpu and/or nvidia-docker images.

This workflow processes a group of images containing cells with discernible nuclei and segments the nuclei and outputs a binary mask that show where nuclei were detected. It performs 2D nuclei segmentation using pre-trained nuclei segmentation models of Cellpose. And it was developed as a test workflow for Neubias BIAFLOWS Benchmarking tool.

Set of KNIME workflows for the training of a deep learning model for image-classification with custom images and classes.

The workflows take ground-truth category annotations as a table generated by the qualitative annotations plugins in Fiji.

Workflows for the training of a model AND for the prediction of image-category for new images are provided.

There are different workflows if you do:

- binary image-classification (images get classified in 1 category out of 2 possible categories) 

- classification from possibly more than 2 categories (images are classified in 1 category out of N possible categories).

The training workflows take care of image pre-processing and allows the visualization of the training and validation losses in real time along the training.  

For the training, transfer learning from a pre-trained VGG16 base is performed, with freshly initialized fully connected layers.

Only the fully connected layers are trained, the VGG16 base is frozen is this workflow, but once the fully connected layers trained the base could also be finetuned. In practice, it often works well with the frozen base.

PyTorch is an open-source machine learning library for Python, based on Torch, used for applications such as natural language processing.
