After a day and a half of #ImageAnalysis in the cloud with #dask by the IDR team, Damian Dalle Nogare takes over a practical session to apply several #AI models for cell segmentation using #Cellpose

Day 3 wraps up with a technical session by Craig Russell, exploring the core concepts of #NeuralNetworks and applying them in practice with PyTorch.

Check out the tutorial: https://github.com/ctr26/pytorch_tutorial

@gomez_mariscal leads a practical session, demonstrating segmentation using StarDist running locally using #DL4MicEverywhere and @Docker

Wei Ouyang has introduced the ecosystem built around @bioimageio within AI4Life, including Hypha, BioEngine, the @bioimageio ChatBot... at the Microscopy data analysis@EBItraining course

Dominik Kutra from the ilastik team is guiding a practical session on using ilastik for #ImageAnalysis tasks during the EBI course microscopy data analysis. His top tip: For any #ImageAnalysis questions, be sure to check out image.sc!

Day 3 of the EBI training virtual course "Microscopy data analysis: ML and the BioImage Archive" is dedicated to AI4Life . We start with Anna Kreshuk lecturing on Ilastik and bioimage.io. She highlights the need to have a shared format for models understood by all tools

Did you know that EMBL-EBI hosts several bioimaging resources? BioImage Archive, BioStudies and EMPIAR are now being presented by Matthew Hartley, Craig Russell, Ugis Sarkans and Awais Athar in the Microscopy Data Analysis course

The EMBL-EBI virtual course "Microscopy data analysis: machine learning and the BioImage Archive" starts today! The week comes packed with insights into #ZeroCostDL, Bioimage Archive, AI4Life tools, and more!

2nd Open Call Update: We've received 51 applications and completed eligibility checks & expert reviews.
