CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES IN HIGH RESOLUTION MICROSCOPY IMAGING
MLHRM 2018
(www.mlhrm.net)
In conjunction with
2018 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM18)
Dec 3-6, 2018, Madrid, Spain
http://orienta.ugr.es/bibm2018/
Submission deadline extended to Oct 5, 2018.
Description:
With the advent of higher resolution imaging modalities, such as electron
microscopy (Cryo-EM, FIB-SEM) and fluorescence superresolution microscopy
(SRM), scientists are able to discern subcellular structures at the molecular
level leading to discoveries in basic and translational sciences as well as
applications in drug discovery and precision medicine. Visualizing cellular,
sub-cellular, and protein structures have been recently recognized with Nobel
Prizes in Chemistry, for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy in 2014 and
for cryo-electron microscopy in 2017. SRM imaging achieves nanometer resolution
while cryo-EM allows imaging of structures in their native, frozen, hydrated
state by resolving structural details of 1.5 Angstrom. These imaging modalities
as well as many others rely on performant computational techniques to reconstruct
high resolution images in 2D and 3D for visualization and further quantitative
analysis. Advances in machine learning, particularly in deep learning, has a
great potential to contribute to high resolution reconstruction process,
particularly by improving particle detection and classification steps of
reconstruction.
This workshop aims to bring the researchers from computational and imaging fields
together to focus on the computational approaches for construction and analysis
in high resolution imaging modalities. Special emphasis will be on the applications
of deep learning and other machine learning methods in imaging modalities such as
cryo-electron microscopy, FIB-SEM tomography, and fluorescence superresolution
microscopy.
Topics:
Original contributions in applications of deep learning and other machine learning
methods in high resolution microscopy including but not limited to noise reduction,
detection, segmentation, classification, and reconstruction of 2D and 3D models, as
well as new approaches in 3D reconstruction of single molecules are welcome.
Contributions regarding other related modalities and automated analysis methods
such as single molecule tracking, multiphoton imaging, and combining EM with
STORM/PALM will also be considered for inclusion in the workshop program.
