With the increasing amount of image data collected from biomedical experiments there is an urgent need for smarter and more effective analysis methods. Many scientific questions require analysis of image sub-regions related to some specific biology. Finding such regions of interest (ROIs) at low resolution and limiting the data subjected to final quantification at full resolution can reduce computational requirements and save time. In this paper we propose a three-step pipeline: First, bounding…

Colon Tissues Classification and Localization in Whole Slide Images Using Deep Learning
TLDR
Artificial intelligence (AI)-based classification and localization models are proposed for determining and localizing the abnormal regions in WSI that will make the task of tissue examination faster and lesser time-consuming.
Translating polygenic risk scores for clinical use by estimating the confidence bounds of risk prediction
TLDR
A machine-learning technique, Mondrian Cross-Conformal Prediction (MCCP), is introduced, to estimate the confidence bounds of PRS-to-disease-risk prediction and can report disease status conditional probability value for each individual and give a prediction at a desired error level.
Rapid development of cloud-native intelligent data pipelines for scientific data streams using the HASTE Toolkit
TLDR
A model that introduces automated, autonomous decision making in data pipelines, such that a stream of data can be partitioned into a tiered or ordered data hierarchy, based on data content rather than a priori metadata is proposed.
