Deep Learning for Imaging and Detection of Microorganisms

Despite tremendous recent interest, the application of deep learning in microbiology has still not reached its full potential. To tackle the challenges faced by human-operated microscopy, deep-learning-based methods have been proposed for microscopic image analysis of a wide range of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. We believe that deep-learning technology-based systems will be on the front line of monitoring and investigation of microorganisms.
