Prompt Engineering in Bio-image Analysis

Posted by Mara Lampert, on 18 July 2024

Prompt engineering and its importance Communication is key. This saying is not only true in day-to-day life, but also when interacting with Generative Artificial Intelligence, a system able to generate text, images or other output types in response to prompts. In prompt engineering, we use natural language to describe the task that a Large Language

Will your algorithm be the best for this new image data challenge?

Posted by France-BioImaging, on 26 February 2024

In order to answer image data analysis demands, France-BioImaging is launching its first data machine learning competition: welcome to the Light My Cells challenge! The Light My Cells challenge aims at contributing to the development of new image-to-image ‘deep-label’ methods in the fields of biology and microscopy. Basically, the goal is to predict the best-focused output-images of several organelles
