Success in international AI-competition
The annual NeurIPS conference (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems) is considered the world's most important forum for artificial intelligence, with participants from all over the world. Every year, competitions are held as part of the conference to select the best AI developments for various use cases.
In the category "Machine Learning for Physical and Life Sciences", Eric Upschulte, a member of the Big Data Analytics group at INM-1, placed one of the top spots. He reached the top ten among 443 participants in the "Cell Segmentation Competition". The researcher will now present his results at the conference in New Orleans, USA.
For the competition, participants submitted self-developed AI algorithms that automatically recognise cells in microscopy images. Such methods are becoming increasingly important in order to be able to deal efficiently with large data sets from research. At INM-1, the algorithms contribute to mapping the brain by quickly recognising and labelling individual neurons in large high-resolution scans.
The 36th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) will take place from 28 November to 09 December 2022. More information about the competitions:
