Abstract: A system and method of screening biological specimens by at least one processor may include receiving a sample image depicting a biological specimen; applying a machine-learning (ML) based autoencoder on the sample image, wherein said autoencoder is trained to generate a reconstructed version of the sample image, via a latent feature vector; associating a latent feature of the latent feature vector to a corresponding visual phenotype of the biological specimen; and screening the biological specimen based on said association. Embodiments of the invention may subsequently modify a value of the latent feature to produce a vector set, comprising a plurality of latent feature vectors; apply a decoder portion of the autoencoder on the vector set, to produce a corresponding reconstructed image set, representing evolution or amplification of a visual phenotype of the biological specimen; and associate the latent feature to the visual phenotype based on the reconstructed image set.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to imaging technologies, and, in particular, to an imaging system that detects relatively weak signals, over time, and that uses the detected signals to determine the positions of signal emitters. Particular embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for imaging fluorophore-labeled samples in order to produce images of the sample at resolutions significantly greater than the diffraction-limited resolution associated with optical microscopy. Embodiments of the present invention employ overlapping-emitter-image disambiguation to allow data to be collected from densely arranged emitters, which significantly decreases the data-collection time for producing intermediate images as well as the number of intermediate images needed to computationally construct high-resolution final images. Additional embodiments of the present invention employ hierarchical image-processing techniques to further resolve and interpret disambiguated images.
