• Abstract: Counting microbial colonies is a fundamental task in microbiology and has many applications in numerous industry branches. Despite this, current studies towards automatic microbial counting using artificial intelligence are hardly comparable due to the lack of unified methodology and the availability of large datasets. The recently introduced AGAR dataset is the answer to the second need, but the research carried out is still not exhaustive. To tackle this problem, we compared the performance of three well-known deep learning approaches for object detection on the AGAR dataset, namely two-stage, one-stage and transformer based neural networks. The achieved results may serve as a benchmark for future experiments.

  Neural Network-based active learning (NAL) is a cost-effective data selection technique that utilizes neural networks to select and train on a small subset of samples. We try to move one step forward by offering a unified explanation for the success of both query criteria-based NAL from a feature learning view.

MuCoMiD allows automatic feature extraction while incorporating knowledge from 4 heterogeneous biological information sources. We construct large-scale experiments on standard benchmark datasets as well as our proposed larger independent test sets and case studies. MuCoMiD shows an improvement of at least 5% in 5-fold CV evaluation on HMDDv2.0 and HMDDv3.0 datasets and at least 49% on larger independent test sets with unseen diseases and unseen diseases over state-of-the-art approaches.

Specifically, we train a generative model simultaneously on natural and synthetic data, so that it learns a shared representation, from which a target variable, such as the cell count, can be reliably estimated.
