Amazing, congratulations Rita! 🥳

YouTube video by Brian Northan Pixi and Napari-Easy-augment-Batch-DL

I just published a new video demonstrating how to use Pixi and Napari-Easy-Augment-Batch-DL for repeatable and reproducible deep learning segmentation. In this example, I use Pixi to set up a Python environment then launch Napari to explore and compare Cellpose3 and Micro-SAM. youtu.be/3ObAnSTBri8

ScaDS.AI Summer School LLM Training This is a collection of Jupyter Notebooks about basic and advanced LLM usage, focusing on what’s practicslly possible with Large Language Models. We demonstrate most utilities using the ScaDS.AI Large Language Models (LLM) Servicer (TU Dresden VPN required). Most exercises should also work with other providers such as GWDG KISSKI and Helmholtz Blablador. The tutorial aims at Python programmers who want to dive into LLMs for generating text, code and data using open source/weights models. After this course they will be able to integrate LLMs into their software applications. Contributions and feedback are very welcome! In case you see room for improvement, please create a github issue and/or consider contributing. Topics The notebook collection aims covering these topics: Large Language Models (LLMs) Text/Code/Data generation Prompt Engineering Retrieval-augmented-generation Vision Function calling Agents Covered Python libraries and software In these notebooks we use libraries from the GenAI field: bia-bob llama-index ollama openai Slide decks Also training slides can be downloaded from zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15743126 Videos The materials provided here were also discussed in a couple of recorded Online Lectures Large Language Models for Bio-image Analysis (ScaDS.AI Living Lab lecture 2024) Large Language Models – an introduction for life scientists (GloBIAS Seminar 2024) Bio-image Analysis Code Generation (I2K Conference 2024) Generative Artificial Intelligence for Bio-image Analysis Related resources The notebooks presented here were partially taken from other places or inspired by code in these resources:

Are you looking for a postdoc?
I will be looking for 2-4 people after the summer to join the lab !!
Do not hesitate to reach out and disseminate !!

Core facility contributions are essential, and #ImagingScientists deserve to receive #CreditWhereItsDue. That’s why we fully support the #AcknowledgementGuidelines launched by @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social and @globalbioimaging.bsky.social and have proudly displayed them in our digital office.

A presenter stands at a podium in front of a large projection screen showing a detailed graph. The graph is titled “Kontextlänge” (Context Length) with the subtitle “Pressure Testing GPT-4 128K via ‘Needle In A HayStack’,” illustrating how GPT-4 retrieves information across different context lengths and document depths. Additional text credits ScaDS.AI Dresden Leipzig and attributes the visualization to Greg Kamradt, emphasizing the focus on advanced AI research and data science.
