Abstract: A system for the rectification of batch-induced distortions and the extraction of phenotypic attributes from biological images is presented. This system encompasses a deep-learning generative adversarial network model, expertly tailored to converse with and modify the contrast of input images, resulting in the creation of output images. A discriminator, operating as a feedback mechanism, discriminates the output image against the input image, ensuring precise image contrast conversion. Integral to this system is a morphology distillator, having a dual classifier framework comprising a batch classifier and a cell type/state classifier. This distillator adeptly identifies phenotypic characteristics and batch-related disparities, subsequently eradicating these batch variations from the output image. The resultant augmentation enriches the cellular information within the image.

Abstract: A set of high level test logic is configured to include a set of insertion points. The high-level test logic can be controlled to insert test conditions into a data center configuration. It can also be configured to execute remediation actions that are to be taken, and validation actions to be performed in order to determine whether the remediation action works against the test conditions. Different instances of the high-level test logic can be configured for different environments and different test conditions.
