What an incredible trackathon! After two weeks of intense discussions and happy coding (and a lot of groundwork beforehand by @msschwartz21.bsky.social and Caroline Malin-Mayor), this lovely community emerged with a Graph Exchange File Format that is ready to use! Congrats, everyone! 🎉

E11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves.

We have generous support from @hhmi.org and @cziscience.bsky.social to provide financial aid. If you have doubts that your institution can pay for you, apply anyway and indicate that you seek financial aid.

If you get selected (admission is need blind), we'll be working with you to find a solution.

All you have to bring is a good understanding of python 🐍, enthusiasm to learn with fellow participants, sunscreen 🏖️, and... your own 🔬 data to work on!

👉 Our TAs will help you in the second week of the course to apply what you learnt to your data!

During 14 full days, we will have ample time for lectures, exercises, discussions, and project work.

We will introduce you to deep learning and its applications to image denoising/restoration/translation, semantic and instance segmentation, object detection, tracking, and more!

‼️🔬 We start!!! 🎉🤖
Super exciting!!! After years of teaching courses for #DeepLearning for Microscopy and Life Science application, we start today our first “advanced course” @embl.org!
#EMBLDeepLearning

How can we use machine learning to find subtle patterns in our data and have them visualized?

Read the thread below to find out how!

Or head to @adjavon.bsky.social's blog post and let Simon the duck walk you through it (like a duck of course): tinyurl.com/yy7csdcd

Good to see you all again.

🚀 Excited to share our paper has been accepted at #NeurIPS! 🎉 We developed a deep learning framework that infers local learning algorithms in the brain by fitting behavioral or neural activity trajectories during learning. We validate on synthetic data and tested on 🪰 behavioral data (1/5 🧵)
