Background: High throughput imaging is now available to many groups and it is possible to generate a large quantity of high quality images quickly. Managing this data, consistently annotating it, or making it available to the community are all challenges that come with these methods.

Results: PhenoImageShare provides an ontology-enabled lightweight image data query, annotation service and a single point of access backed by a Solr server for programmatic access to an integrated image collection enabling improved community access. PhenoImageShare also provides an easy to use online image annotation tool with functionality to draw regions of interest on images and to annotate them with terms from an autosuggest-enabled ontology-lookup widget. The provenance of each image, and annotation, is kept and links to original resources are provided. The semantic and intuitive search interface is species and imaging technology neutral. PhenoImageShare now provides access to annotation for over 100,000 images for 2 species.

Conclusion: The PhenoImageShare platform provides underlying infrastructure for both programmatic access and user-facing tools for biologists enabling the query and annotation of federated images. PhenoImageShare is accessible online at http://www.phenoimageshare.org .

Hyperspectral image classification in remote sensing often encounters challenges due to limited annotated data. Semi-supervised learning methods present a promising solution. However, their performance is heavily influenced by the quality of pseudo labels.

It is now possible to generate large volumes of high-quality images of biomolecules at near-atomic resolution and in near-native states using cryogenic electron microscopy/electron tomography (Cryo-EM/ET). However, the precise annotation of structures like filaments and membranes remains a major barrier towards applying these methods in high-throughput. To address this, we present TARDIS ( ransformer-b sed apid imensionless nstance egmentation), a machine-learning framework for fast and accurate annotation of micrographs and tomograms.

Introduction: Precision medicine refers to managing brain tumors according to each patient's unique characteristics when it was realized that patients with the same type of tumor differ greatly in terms of survival, responsiveness to treatment, and toxicity of medication. Precision diagnostics can now be advanced through the establishment of imaging biomarkers, which necessitates quantitative image acquisition and processing. The VASARI (Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images) manual annotation methodology is an ideal and suitable way to determine the accurate association between genotype and imaging phenotype.

In clinical practice, differentiating among pulmonary mucormycosis (PM), invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) can be challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of chest CT-based artificial intelligence (AI) models in distinguishing among these three diseases. Patients with confirmed PM, IPA, or PTB were retrospectively recruited from three tertiary hospitals.

Semisupervised Contrastive Learning for Bioactivity Prediction Using Cell Painting Image Data.

J Chem Inf Model

January 2025

Research Unit Structural Chemistry and Computational Biophysics, Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie, Berlin 13125, Germany.

Morphological profiling has recently demonstrated remarkable potential for identifying the biological activities of small molecules. Alongside the fully supervised and self-supervised machine learning methods recently proposed for bioactivity prediction from Cell Painting image data, we introduce here a semisupervised contrastive (SemiSupCon) learning approach. This approach combines the strengths of using biological annotations in supervised contrastive learning and leveraging large unannotated image data sets with self-supervised contrastive learning.
