- Reposted by Alexander KrullGreat work by our colleagues @afoix.bsky.social @virginieuhlmann.bsky.social @alex-krull.bsky.social As presented at this year’s @neuripsconf.bsky.social
- If you are at @neuripsconf.bsky.social and interested in shapes, check out Anna's work! Thank you @afoix.bsky.social! It was a real pleasure working on this with you and @virginieuhlmann.bsky.social and I am sad I can't join in San Diego.
- We’ll be at @neuripsconf.bsky.social on Wednesday, 3 December, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (San Diego time). Come and chat with us about why distance matrices and invariances are cool! 🎉 #InterdisciplinaryML #neurips2025 #bioimageanalysis #shapequantification

- Happy to share that ShapeEmbed has been accepted at @neuripsconf.bsky.social 🎉 SE is self-supervised framework to encode 2D contours from microscopy & natural images into a latent representation invariant to translation, scaling, rotation, reflection & point indexing 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2507.01009 (1/N)
- Cheers, @afoix.bsky.social. Thank you all of you for submitting, reviewing, organising and attending! Thank you #ICCV2025 for hosting us. Also thank you @unibirmingham.bsky.social for sponsoring #BIC again this year!
- We’ll be presenting at the #BIC workshop at @iccv.bsky.social! This year’s BIC has amazing speakers 🌺 — join us on 19 October at the Honolulu Convention Center to explore cutting-edge methods at the intersection of computer vision and biology 🔬 #ICCV2025 More details: www.bioimagecomputing.com
- Thank you, @afoix.bsky.social! I am really happy I could be part of this one. Everybody, please enjoy the new ShapeEmbeding goodness!
- We’ve upgraded ShapeEmbed 🎉 ShapeEmbedLite decodes latent codes via an MLP to guarantee valid EDMs, making it lighter and ideal for small microscopy datasets or limited compute. Hear more at my BIC workshop talk or poster at #ICCV2025! Try it out at github.com/uhlmanngroup...
- Thank you @afoix.bsky.social , thank you @virginieuhlmann.bsky.social! I am very happy and proud I was part of this one!

- Reposted by Alexander KrullSept 18: Learn how to remove noise from imaging data with supervised, self-supervised & generative AI. With @alex-krull.bsky.social (University Birmingham). Register for the series 👉 bit.ly/6-image-proc... @helmholtz.de #imaging #ImageDenoising #AI
- Reposted by Alexander KrullLooking forward to my talk at heidelberg.ai. I will touch on topics like #MapFreeReloc and #ACEZero, i.e. how to derive scene representations from very few (one!) or very many images.
- Please meet Dr. @stonks1.bsky.social! Couldn’t be more proud!
- Reposted by Alexander KrullSubmit your method to our denoising challenge!!! 👍
- If unsupervised approaches are your thing, also check out the unsupervised denoising challenge and submit your solutions (the challenge is from last year, but we are still taking entries from everyone who is interested). 👉 ai4life-mdc24.grand-challenge.org
- Reposted by Alexander KrullDo you like developing new AI vision methods for microscopy image analysis? You love theory & implementation? 1 week left to apply for a fully funded PhD position in our lab in Dresden 🇩🇪! Topics: object detection/tracking, multimodal models & more. DM/email for details! #PhD #AcademicJobs #GPUsgoBrr
- Rock on, Pavel! 👍👍👍
- Unlocking a cycling achievement. Koenigstuhl was like another planet for me when I was doing my PhD @embl.org. My car (old communist Škoda 105L) had trouble getting there. By bike - unthinkable. 25 years later, I did it with a bio-bike! Via #EMBL from Rohrbach. Next challenge: #Steigerweg 🤠💪🚴♀️

- Reposted by Alexander KrullAfter a long journey, Segment Anything for Microscopy is now published in Nature Methods! We significantly improve SAM for interactive and automatic segmentation in light and electron microscopy and build a user-friendly tool. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Alexander KrullTweedie's formula is super important in diffusion models & is also one of the cornerstones of empirical Bayes methods. Given how easy it is to derive, it's surprising how recently it was discovered ('50s). It was published a while later when Tweedie wrote Stein about it 1/n

- Reposted by Alexander Krull‼️🔬 We start!!! 🎉🤖 Super exciting!!! After years of teaching courses for #DeepLearning for Microscopy and Life Science application, we start today our first “advanced course” @embl.org! #EMBLDeepLearning
- Reposted by Alexander KrullThe anticipatory swiftness with which certain organizations go along with attacks on diversity and rewritings of history suggests that maybe some of the folks in power think that these are genuinely good changes.

- Reposted by Alexander KrullImmagine you could image two cellular structures in the same fluorescent channel and still reliably get them separated afterwards… What would you do with this? Now… what would you do if that also worked with 4 structures at once? 👇 #MicroSplit #preview🧵
- Reposted by Alexander KrullOur latest preprint PEFT-SAM is on arxiv! We study parameter efficient finetuning to adapt SAM to biomedical images and introduce a new workflow for adaptation based on only two labeled images. See our workflow and improvements in the image, check out arxiv.org/abs/2502.00418 or read on for more.
